In Mozambican waters, the species is recorded between 112 and 403m( Castro 2013). It inhabits bottoms of sand, foraminifera, coral and rock ( Williams 1982).  Results and remarks.Only one specimenwas studied, being an ovigerous female, collected in March 2009(M09) at 374mdepth. This specimen agrees well with the descriptions and figures in Castro et al. (2003). The specimen was collected badly damage.  Colouration observed.The carapace was crossed longitudinally by orange and beige lines, which curve at the posterior edge of the carapace. The ambulatory legs, as well as the chelipeds, bear orange and beige transverse lines.  DNA barcodes.There are not sequences available for this species on any public database. Thus, the 16S sequence is the first one for this species and is close (98.49%), at intrageneric distance, to one sequence of  Latreillia valida(  MK204361). 3391151384 MZ424916 [391,1292,1447,1474] MZ 81374 14 15 1 1
