Pagurus dermatus – Estampador, 1937: 502 ; Estampador, 1959: 50 (misspelling of Pagurus dearmatus ). Dardanus dearmatus – Rahayu, 2000: 386; Asakura & Hirayama, 2002: 223–229 , Figs. 7 –10. Material examined. 1 male SL 5.2 mm ( ZRC ), stn PN1, Balicasag I. , 9°31.2′N , 123°41.3′E , 50–500 m , v.2004 to vii.2004 . Habitat. Subtidal to approximately 500 m . Remarks. This is typically a shallow subtidal species (to about 15 m , i.e., Rahayu, 2000) but there are reports of D. dearmatus from 29–46 m in the Admiralty Islands ( Henderson, 1888 ) or much deeper waters, e.g., 605–915 m in Saya de Malha Bank ( Laurie, 1926 ). The single specimen from Balicasag Island is also from relatively deep water ( 50–500 m ), and was collected via tangle net. Cassidy (2005) , without further explanation, stated his opinion that Estampador’s (1937) report of D. dearmatus actually refers to D. gemmatus . Estampador’s (1937) specimens could not be located for verification ( Asakura & Hirayama, 2002: 229 ). Regardless of the identity of Estampador’s material, this report confirms the presence of D. dearmatus in Philippine waters.
