Material examined.

Philippines: l ♂ (12.3 × 16.6 mm), station CP2396, 9°36.3'N, 123°42.0'E, Maribohoc Bay, Panglao, Bohol, Visayas, 609-673 m, PANGLAO 2005 Expedition, coll. MV DA-BFAR, 31 May 2005 (ZRC 2007.0105); l ♀ (28.1 × 34.2 mm), station CP2363, 9°06.0'N, 123°25.0'E, Bohol and Sulu Seas, 437-439 m, PANGLAO 2005 Expedition, coll. MV DA-BFAR, 26 May 2005 (ZRC 2007.0106, COI sequence: OK331337) .

Remarks.

Ng and Naruse (2007: 49) commented that the largest female they examined (28.1 × 34.2 mm, ZRC 2007.0106) has the carapace relatively more inflated with the posterolateral margin distinctly convex and the external orbital tooth more anteriorly directed when compared to smaller males. In addition, this female specimen is also relatively more hirsute (Fig. 4A, C, D versus Fig. 6A-C). We see a similar pattern of variation in D. erinaceus sp. nov., where the smaller males are less swollen and with less setae overall when compared to larger females (Fig. 16A, B versus Fig. 13A, B). In D. karubar, the exorbital tooth varies in the angle its directed outwards (Figs 8B, C, 10B). As such, the differences observed for the specimens of D. martini examined here are regarded as intraspecific and/or size related.
