All locations in Balicasag Island, Panglao, Bohol, Visayas, Philippines; purchased from local shell fishermen, obtained by tangle nets.
Remarks. Two species of Lauridromia are known from the Philippines: L. intermedia and L. indica, both of which have a carapace width which is approximately equal to the length. The differences between these two species are: in L. intermedia there are three equidistant acute anterolateral teeth on the carapace margin (while in L. indica there are five variable teeth); the inner margins of the dactyli of first two pairs of legs are armed with five small spines (versus the inner margins has eight small spines); the carapace is covered with short coarse tomentum with longer setae on the anterior branchial regions and along the margins (versus the surface is covered by short velvety tomentum); the spermathecal apertures at the end of sternal sutures 7/8 are well separated (versus spermathecal apertures close together); and the fifth and sixth abdominal segments are fused (versus segments only partially fused). The live colour of L. intermedia is orangeyellowish.
Distribution. Lauridromia intermedia has been reported from the Mindoro Strait, Philippines by McLay (1993); it also occurs in the Indian Ocean, Japan, Timor, Queensland (Australia) and New Caledonia.
