Material examined. NMV J46930, 1 male, Cb = 32.4 mm, Cl = 22.4 mm (acq. 118) Survey SS 2012t 07, Stn 02, 11°13.78'–13.78'S, 134°44.47'– 44.44'E, 23.3 m, Benthic sled, 17/10/2012.
Colour in preservative. Carapace brown, darker in the first half, until last anterolateral tooth; ambulatory legs brown/orange; chelipeds brown with black chelae; abdomen beige.
Remarks. The specimen from the Timor Sea agrees well with the description in Laurie (1906). The holotype is described by Laurie as yellowish with a circular brown patch in the gastric region in live specimens. The single male specimen from the Timor Sea lacked the brown patch as does the specimen described by Rathbun (1923, plate 20) collected in Queensland, Australia.
Distribution. Sri Lanka, Singapore, Japan (Kii Peninsula), Australia (Queensland and Northern Australia) (Laurie, 1906; Rathbun, 1923; Sakai, 1976). Depth range 15– 35 m.
