Christmas Island: stn CI-D12-2011, Thunderdome Cave, 10°27.906’S, 105°36.465’E, 3–16.6 m depth, submarine cave, 28 March 2011, 1 ovigerous female (cl 5.6 mm), ZRC 2013.0842; stn CI-D14-2011, Perpendicular Wall, 10°26.722’S, 105°33.641’E, reef slope and crest, 29 March 2011, 1 female (cl 4.5 mm), ZRC 2013.0843; stn CI-D15-2011, Boat Cave, 10°26.722’S, 105°33.641’E, reef slope and crest, 29 March 2011, 1 juvenile (cl 2.3 mm), 2 males (cl 4.6, 5.7 mm), 2 ovigerous females (cl 4.9, 5.2 mm), ZRC 2013.0844; stn CI-D17-2011, Thunderdome Cave, 10°27.906’S, 105°36.465’E, 3–16.6 m depth, submarine cave, 30 March 2011, 1 male (cl 5.4 mm), 1 female (cl 3.3 mm), ZRC 2013.0845; stn CI-D18-2011, Rhoda Wall, off Rhoda Beach., 10°27.729’S, 105°37.283’E, 5–16 m depth, reef slope and crest, 30 March 2011, 1 male (cl 5.3 mm), 1 female (cl 3.8 mm), ZRC 2013.0846.
Colour in life. The colouration of the specimens examined agrees well with that of P. scabriculus provided by Osawa & Chan (2010: fig. 123).
Distribution. Gulf of Thailand, Philippines, Indonesia, New Guinea, western and eastern Australia, Nansha Islands in the South China Sea, Taiwan, Ryukyu Islands, New Caledonia, Loyalty Islands. Shallow water to a depth of 55 m, often associated with corals (Osawa & Chan, 2010). Now from Christmas Island in the southeastern Indian Ocean.
Remarks. The present specimens agree well with the published descriptions and illustrations of P. scabriculus (e.g., Nakasone & Miyake, 1968; Osawa, 2007; Osawa & Chan, 2010). As mentioned above, Petrolisthes scabriculus is known as a shallow subtidal species, although many of the congeners usually inhabit intertidal region.
