REMARKS
Carcinoplax sinica has often been confused with C. purpurea. Differences were outlined by Guinot (1989: 287). The most marked difference is in the morphology of the second anterolateral tooth: hook-like and more salient in C. sinica (Guinot 1989: fig. 12) than in C. purpurea (Guinot 1989: fig. 11). There are also differences in the colour patterns, a reddish carapace in C. sinica (see Hsueh & Huang 2002: fig. 8D) that is unfortunately readily lost in preservation and a purple-red band along the medial axis of the carapace in C. purpurea (see Hsueh & Huang 2002: fig. 8C).
Photographs of specimens identified as C. purpurea by Serène & Lohavanijaya (1973: pl. 14, figs B, C, pl. 15, fig. B) shows that the material belongs to C. sinica. It can also be confirmed that part of the MUSORSTOM 1 material originally identified as C. purpurea by Serène & Vadon (1981) actually belonged to C. sinica as previously reported by Guinot (1989: 287).
