Remarks. Guţu (2001) corrected the description of this species, pointing out that, contrary to that description, both cheliped and pereopod 1 have an exopodite. Edgar (1997) recorded large numbers of this species in shallow water (1–8 m depth) around Darwin, Northern Territory, in association with algae and coral rubble. Guţu (2006) and Bamber (in press) recorded specimens from Moreton Bay, Queensland, also in shallow water. The present material extends the range of this species further south to Bass Strait, and to substantially greater depth.
