Ahyong 1 and Phaibul Naiyanetr 2 1 Department of Marine Invertebrates, Australian Museum, 6 College St, Sydney, New South Wales 2000, Australia 2 Department of Biology, Faculty of Science, Chulalongkorn University, Bangkok, Thailand ABSTRACT The Stomatopoda of Phuket, Thailand, is surveyed based on collections made principally by the Phuket Marine Biological Centre BIOSHELF Cruises. Forty-eight stomatopod species are recorded from Phuket. Twenty-eight species are new records for Phuket, including Carinosquilla spinosa sp. nov. Eleven species newly reported from Phuket are also new records for the Andaman Sea, an increase of 16%. Faughnia formosae, Gonodactylellus annularis, Oratosquillina manningi, Oratosquillina ornata, Levisquilla jurichi, Clorida gaillardi, Cloridina pelamidae, and Coronidopsis serenei are reported outside of the Pacific Ocean for the first time. Eighty-one stomatopod species in 11 families and five superfamilies are now known from the Andaman Sea, representing almost 60% of the Indian Ocean fauna. A checklist of the stomatopods of the Andaman Sea is given. INTRODUCTION Knowledge of the stomatopod fauna of the northern Andaman Sea is largely derived from the studies of Wood-Mason (1875), Kemp (1913), Kemp and Chopra (1921) and Tiwari and Biswas (1952), each of whom worked principally with collections now housed in the Zoological Survey of India. The stomatopod fauna of Phuket and surrounding Thai waters is known principally from a study made by Dingle et al. (1977), supplemented by Manning (1979), and Naiyanetr (1987, 1989, 1998). Dingle et al. (1977) reported 15 species from Phuket, comprising mostly coral-reef gonodactyloids. Additional species were reported from Phuket and the adjacent Andaman Sea by Manning (1979), and Naiyanetr (1987, 1989). To date, 20 species of stomatopod have been recorded from Phuket. The present report is based primarily on collections made by the Phuket Marine Biological Centre BIOSHELF Cruises, supplemented by smaller collections made by various workers. These results more than double the known fauna from Phuket to a total of 48. The known stomatopod fauna of the Andaman Sea is increased to 81 species in 11 families and five superfamilies. MATERIALS AND METHODS Synonymies are restricted to the original citation, primary synonyms and references relevant to the Andaman Sea. All measurements are in millimetres (mm). Terminology and size descriptors generally follow Manning (1969b, 1977, 1978d) and Ahyong (1998). Total length (TL) is measured along the midline from the apex of the rostral plate to the apices of the submedian teeth of the telson. Carapace length (CL) is measured along the midline and excludes the rostral plate. Corneal index (CI) is given as 100CL divided by corneal width. Other abbreviations: antennule (A1), antenna (A2), abdominal somite (AS), maxilliped (MXP), median (MD), intermediate (IM), lateral (LT), marginal (MG), submedian (SM), thoracic somite (TS). Specimens are deposited in the Phuket Marine Biological Centre (PMBC); Australian Museum, Sydney (AM); Chulalongkorn University Museum

The single specimen bears seven teeth on the dactylus of both raptorial claws, although the usual number is five or six (Kemp, 1913). Acanthosquilla phalangium is common on intertidal sandflats where it constructs deep, U-shaped burrows. Dingle et al. (1977) speculated that A. phalangium (as A. acanthocarpus) may occur in Phuket, and the present record confirms their suspicion.

Other measurements of holotype: CL 20.8 mm, anterior carapace width 8.4 mm, CW 4.5 mm, A1 peduncle 21.7 mm, A2 scale 16.3 mm. Carinosquilla spinosa sp. nov. closely resembles C. carinata, in the carinate eyestalks, colouration and general habitus, but differs in the spination of the thoracic and abdominal somites. In C. carinata, the posterior margin between the submedian carinae of AS1 5 is smooth or crenulate, or rarely has 1 or 2 small spinules on AS4 5 based on examination of type material (USNM) and specimens in other collections (ZRC, CUMZ). In C. spinosa, however, the posterior margins between the submedian carinae of TS6 8 and AS1 4 are lined with spines, as well as often having 1 or 2 spines lateral to the spines of each submedian carina of the abdomen. The type series of C. spinosa shows little variation except in typically size-related, meristic and morphometric features such as the relative size of the eyes (decreasing with increasing size) and number of spines on the inner margin of the uropodal protopod (increasing with increasing size).

14 Phuket Marine Biological Center Special Publication 23(2): (2002) 293 Carinosquilla spinosa is presently known only from the Indian Ocean and all previous reports of C. carinata from the Indian Ocean are referable to the present new species. Carinosquilla carinata appears to be restricted to the South China Sea. Thus, the ranges of C. carinata and C. spinosa are apparently discrete, but conceivably could overlap in the Malacca Strait. Although Moosa (1991) reported C. carinata from New Caledonia (and in doing so synonymized C. thailandensis Naiyanetr, 1983, with the latter), his material is composite and referable to one or more additional undescribed species of Carinosquilla (Ahyong, in press). Moreover, C. thailandensis is itself a distinct species (Naiyanetr et al., 2000). All specimens of C. spinosa were trawled on sandymud substrates at depths of m.

DISCUSSION Eighty-one species of stomatopods are now known from the Andaman Sea in 11 families and five superfamilies. Eleven species reported herein represent new records for the entire Andaman Sea. Forty-eight species of stomatopods are now known from Phuket, of which 26 are new records based on Naiyanetr (1998). Consequently, the results of this study increase the known stomatopod fauna of the Andaman Sea by 16% and that of Phuket by 118%. Eight species represented here are also new records for the Indian Ocean, namely Faughnia formosae, Gonodactylellus annularis, Oratosquillina manningi, O. ornata, Levisquilla jurichi, Clorida gaillardi, Cloridina pelamidae, and Coronidopsis serenei. Manning (1989) reported 132 species from the Indian Ocean. Since 1989, only four additional species have been described from the Indian Ocean (Manning, 1990a; 1990b; Ahyong, 1998). Hence, the stomatopod fauna of the Andaman Sea represents a substantial proportion of the known Indian Ocean fauna almost 60%. Most species reported herein were collected via trawling on soft substrates. Consequently, squilloids dominated samples. The largest proportion of new records for Phuket (20 of 28) are squilloids and these were collected by trawl or dredge. Relatively little collecting effort in coralreef environments around Phuket accounts for the smaller proportion of gonodactyloids collected. The large increase in the known fauna as the result the limited sampling conducted for present study suggests that the stomatopod fauna is not yet well characterized. Moreover, the fact that several species newly reported from the Indian Ocean also represent significant range extensions suggest that intermediate localities are also poorly sampled. Particular attention should be paid to the coralreef stomatopods which are generally smaller and more difficult to collect than species living on soft substrates. Checklist of Stomatopoda known from the Andaman Sea. The checklist below includes all stomatopod species known from the Andaman Sea. New records for Phuket are indicated *, and new records for both Phuket and the Andaman Sea are indicated**. Moosa (1986) synonymized Chorisquilla andamanica Manning, 1975, with C. excavata (Miers, 1880) based on similar telson morphology. Chorisquilla andamanica, however, is a distinct species and differs from C. excavata in lacking posterolateral spines on AS6. Naiyanetr s (1998) record of C. excavata from the Andaman Sea is based on C. andamanica. Mesacturoides brevisquamatus (Paulson, 1875) is included in the fauna of the Andaman Sea following Kemp (1913), but as noted by Manning (1962), the record is probably based on M. fimbriatus (Lenz, 1905).

Box 60, Phuket 83000, Thailand ABSTRACT A large collection of brachyurans trawled from off the western coast of Thailand were sorted and identified. Of the 102 species, 38 appear to be new distributional records for Thailand, and a number of others are probably new to science. This highlights the poor state of knowledge of the shallow-water crustacean fauna of this part of Thailand, and of the north-eastern Indian Ocean in general. INTRODUCTION This contribution reports on work was undertaken during the International Workshop on the Biodiversity of Crustacea in the Andaman Sea and Island of Phuket, Thailand, held from 29 November to 20 December The study material was largely collected by the R.V. Chakratong Tongyai from the BIOSHELF project field surveys of the west coast of Thailand during the years , financed by the DANIDA PMBC Scientific Cooperation Programme. The material is maintained as part of the PMBC Reference Collection. All the current study material was sourced from the Andaman Sea off the west coast of Thailand. Full details for the BIOSHELF stations is given in The Thai Danish BIOSHELF surveys ( ) off western Thailand part of the Andaman Sea (Bussarawit and Aungtonya 2002). Specific collection data for additional older material is available on request from the PMBC. To date the most important scientific study of the Brachyura of the west coast of Thailand was undertaken by the 1966 Thai Danish Expedition, and reported on by Serène and Soh (1976). This survey differed in that it was largely based on material collected by the use of a benthic grab. The BIOSHELF survey used a variety of collecting techniques, including a bottom trawl, triangular dredge (TD), and Ockelmann Sledge (OS). Serène and Soh (1976) recorded 67 species, including four new genera and seven new species. They predicted that a more extensive survey would probably provide around 100 species of Brachyura, which would correspond to the brachyuran fauna of the soft bottom (sand and mud) of the continental shelf in the region. The present study in fact recorded 102 species, and there is no doubt that more will be found. Another important study of the Thai fauna was that by Rathbun (1909, 1910), however, her study was based on material from the Gulf of Thailand.

35 314 International Workshop on the Crustacea of the Andaman Sea Rathbun recorded 205 species, but her study was based on a much broader range of habitats. The decision as to whether a species is new to the Thai fauna was based on the Checklist of Crustacean Fauna in Thailand (Decapoda and Stomatopoda) compiled by Phaibul Naiyanetr (1998) from published sources as well as his own records. Naiyanetr has recorded around 526 species of marine brachyurans from Thai waters, and his distributional data is an invaluable tool for assessing overall biodiversity and biogeographical influences. In the following list a subfamily classification where it exists has been adopted only when there were a sufficient number of species in the family concerned to warrant assigning the genera. For a full classification of all species known from western Thailand see Ng and Davie (2001, this volume).

Aungtonya, The taxonomy of this genus is still not very satisfactory (see Ng, 1987), and while we are unable to key the present specimens to any species with confidence, it may not be undescribed. The genus is in an urgent need of revision. Typhlocarcinus (?) craterifer Rathbun, 1914 PMBC 15362, 1 female, BIOSHELF St. E1, 08º30 N, 098º06 E, BC, 42 m, coll. S. Bussarawit and C.

It was originally described from the Philippines, but Serène (1964) dramatically extended its known distribution to off Durban, South Africa. The present specimens accord reasonable well with the figures and descriptions of Rathbun and Serène; however, they are still identified with some doubt because of the small amount of material known, and the lack of male specimens. Comparison with the type material will be necessary for certainty. A new record for Thailand.

Bussarawit, The present specimens agree well with the description and figures of Serène (1964: , fig. 9, pl. 19C), however his specimen, a male from Edam Island, north of Jakarta, Indonesia, was also doubtfully identified. More work looking at a range of material is needed to be certain of the identity of our species. According to Naiyanetr (1998), T. canaliculata has been recorded from several sites in the Gulf of Thailand; however, the present record would be a westerly range extension.

52 Phuket Marine Biological Center Special Publication 23(2): (2002) 331 Although Ng (1987) reviewed the state of taxonomy for this genus, and the genus is easy to identify; nothing short of a full revision will settle the uncertainties of the identities of the various species in the genus.

Bussarawit and C. Aungtonya, DISCUSSION The most interesting result to come out of this study is the remarkable number of new records for Thailand. Of the 102 species recorded, over one-third (38) have not been previously reported. While it is true that many are wide-ranging species, and may have been expected to be found off western Thailand, this further illustrates the existing poor state of knowledge of the biodiversity of this region. In addition, for some groups, such as the Goneplacidae and Hexapodidae, it is clear that there are a number of new species to be described, several of which may prove to be endemic to the north-eastern Indian Ocean. It is intended that parts of the present collection will be the subject of revisionary studies now underway by the first two authors. ACKNOWLEDGEMENTS We would like to thank the organisers of the International Workshop on the Biodiversity of Crustacea in the Andaman Sea and Island of Phuket, Thailand, for their invitation to attend, and for creating such a pleasant work environment during our stay, and in particular Drs Niel Bruce and Matz Berggren. Dr Peter Castro is also gratefully acknowledged for his assistance in identifying the species of Palicidae. Paul Clark and Daniele Guinot made valuable comments on the manuscript which have improved the paper.

62 Phuket Marine Biological Center Special Publication 23(2): (2002) 341 THE BOX AND MOON CRABS OF THAILAND, WITH DESCRIPTION OF A NEW SPECIES OF CALAPPA (CRUSTACEA: BRACHYURA: CALAPPIDAE, MATUTIDAE) Peter K. L. Ng 1, Joelle C. Y. Lai 1 and Charatsee Aungtonya 2 1 Department of Biological Sciences, National University of Singapore, Kent Ridge, Singapore 11920, Republic of Singapore 2 Phuket Marine Biological Center, P.O. Box 60, Phuket 83000, Thailand ABSTRACT Eleven species of box crabs (Calappidae: Calappa bicornis, C. calappa, C. capellonis, C. clypeata, C. gallus, C. hepatica, C. lophos, C. philargius, C. bilineata sp. nov., C. undulata, Mursia africana) and five species of moon crabs (Matutidae: Ashtoret lunaris, A. miersii, Izanami curtispina, Matuta planipes, Matuta victor) are recorded from Thailand. Of these, one (Calappa bilineata) is a new species allied to C. philargius, while six are new records for Thailand (Calappa capellonis, C. bicornis, C. undulata, Mursia africana, Ashtoret miersii, Izanami curtispina). Six species are known only from the Andaman Sea, western Thailand. The record of Mursia africana is interesting as it was previously only known from East Africa. Keys are provided for all 16 species now known from Thailand. INTRODUCTION The box and moon crabs of the families Calappidae and Matutidae (sensu Stevcic, 1983; Bellwood, 1996) respectively, are well represented in Thailand, with Naiyanetr (1998) listing nine species, viz. Calappidae: Calappa calappa (Linnaeus, 1758), C. gallus (Herbst, 1803), C. hepatica (Linnaeus, 1758), C. lophos (Herbst, 1782), C. philargius (Linnaeus, 1758), C. terrareginae Ward, 1936, and Matutidae: Ashtoret lunaris (Forskål, 1775), Matuta planipes Fabricius, 1798, and Matuta victor (Fabricius, 1781). In her recent revision, Galil (1997) synonymised C. terrareginae Ward, 1936, under C. clypeata Borradaile, The taxonomy of the moon crabs of the genus Matuta have also been re-appraised by Galil and Clark (1994) and the generic affinities and specific identities of many species have changed. The Calappidae has long been considered to contain two distinct subfamilies, Calappinae De Haan, 1833, and Matutidae De Haan, There have been calls, however, to recognise both these taxa as separate families (e.g. Stevcic, 1983), but most carcinologists adopt a more conservative approach in regarding them as only distinct subfamilies (e.g. Ng, 1998). A recent analysis of the intrafamilial relationships (Bellwood, 1996) supports the idea that they should be considered as separate families and are here recognised as such. All calappids can be distinguished by having all their ambulatory dactyli normal and not paddle-like, the right and always larger chela armed with a pair of special cutting teeth designed for cutting open gastropods (Ng and Tan, 1984), and the posterolateral part of carapace usually well expanded and forming a clypeiform structure which covers most of the legs (Ng, 1998). The Matutidae are distinguished by their ambulatory dactyli being distinctly paddle-like, both chelae being subequal in size and neither with special cutting teeth, and the carapace having distinct median lateral spines of varying lengths but with the posteorlateral part never expanded (Ng, 1998). Of the above species, all but Calappa clypeata (as C. terrareginae) have been reported from western Thailand. Recent collections in Phuket and

63 342 International Workshop on the Crustacea of the Andaman Sea surrounding waters of western Thailand (Andaman Sea) have obtained numerous calappid and matutid specimens, six of which represent new records for the country, viz. Calappa capellonis Laurie, 1906, C. bicornis Miers, 1884, C. undulata Dai and Yang, 1991, Mursia africana Galil, 1993, Ashtoret miersii (Henderson, 1887) and Izanami curtispina (Sakai, 1961). One species of Calappa, C. bilineata, is here described as new. Although most of the above new records are not remarkable in that most of the species have an Indo-West Pacific distribution, their presence in Thai waters is noteworthy nevertheless. A total of sixteen species from these two families are now recorded from Thailand. Of these, thirteen occur in western Thailand. Seven species, Calappa capellonis, C. bicornis, C. bilineata, C. undulata, Mursia africana, Ashtoret miersii and Izanami curtispina are not yet known from eastern Thailand (including the Gulf of Thailand). With the possible exceptions of Mursia africana and Ashtoret miersii, which are only known from the Indian Ocean, we do not believe that the rest of the observed trends are real, with their absence only reflecting poor collecting. Most of the specimens used for this study were collected during the biodiversity study of the marine fauna and flora on the Andaman Sea shelf which was conducted aboard the research vessel, Chakratong Tongyai, and operated by the Phuket Marine Biological Center (PMBC) between Additional samples were collected around Phuket Island during the Biodiversity Workshop on Crustacea in the Andaman Sea (29 November to 20 December 1998). Specimens which were collected by two other research vessels, R.V. Paknam and R.V. Chulabhorn, and obtained during the 5 th Thai Danish Expedition were also included. The specimens examined are deposited primarily in the Reference Collection at Phuket Marine Biological Center, Thailand. Additional specimens collected from Phuket in the Zoological Museum, University of Copenhagen (ZMUC); and Zoological Reference Collection of the Raffles Museum (ZRC), National University of Singapore, have also been included in this study for completeness. For the study of Calappa philargius and C. bilineata sp. nov., additional specimens have also been examined from the National Science Museum, Tokyo (NSMT), Japan; Berlin Museum (ZMB), Germany; Australian Museum (AMS), Sydney, Australia; Western Australian Museum (WAM), Perth, Australia; Queensland Museum (QM), Brisbane, Australia; Uppsala University Zoological Museum (UUZM), Sweden; Muséum National d Histoire naturelle (MNHN), Paris, France; Natural History Museum (NHM), London, England; and Nationaal Natuurhistorish Museum (previously known as the Rijksmuseum van Natuurlijke Historie (RMNH), Leiden, The Netherlands. The lobes or teeth of the posterior carapace margin are counted from the posterolateral corner inwards, with the first tooth being outermost. Measurements provided are of the maximum carapace width and length respectively (spines inclusive). The abbreviations G1 and G2 are used for the male first and second pleopods respectively. Colour photographs are provided for the species obtained recently. Unless otherwise stated, all specimens are from Phuket Island. Complete synonymies and author citations for species are not provided for the taxa treated, and the readers are asked to consult Galil (1997) and Galil and Clark (1994) instead.

The deeply-cleft rostrum of this species is distinctive. The fresh colours of this species are diagnostic (Fig. 1A), with the large conical granules on the outer surface of the chela being blood-red. Calappa calappa (Linnaeus, 1758) None from Thailand. This is the largest Calappa species in the Indo- West Pacific (Galil, 1997). The species exists in two colour morphs (one plain beige and one beige with numerous distinct unecen spots), but as far as is known, only the uniformly coloured beige or light brown form is present in the Indian Ocean. The taxonomy of these two morphs is now being investigated by the first two authors using morphological and molecular methods. Naiyanetr (1998) records this species from western Thailand but we have not examined any specimens from this area as yet. Calappa calappa is essentially a coral-reef species, occurring in the sandy areas between coral heads, usually in the sub-littoral region. Calappa capellonis Laurie, 1906 (Fig. 1B) PMBC 2033, 1 male, Phuket; PMBC 16811, 2 males, 3 females, BIOSHELF St. PB3 4, 07º51 N, 098º38 E, trawl, 27 m, coll. S.

The life colours are also diagnostic among all Thai species, being essentially dark brown all over (Fig. 1B). Calappa capellonis can easily be confused with C. gallus, but in C. capellonis, the front is more distinctly cleft, the carapace appears more transverse (against more rounded) and the gonopods are differently structured (Galil, 1997). Records of C. gallus by Nateewathana et al. (1981) and Naiyanetr (1998) should be referred to C. capellonis instead (see later). Calappa capellonis was originally described from Sri Lanka.

67 346 International Workshop on the Crustacea of the Andaman Sea This species has long been known as Calappa terraereginae Ward, 1936 (type locality Australia), and it was only recently that Galil (1997) synonymised it under C. clypeata (type locality Maldives). In the Andaman Sea, it appears to be very common in relatively shallow waters. Calappa clypeata is distinct among the Thai calappids in being the only species which is greenish-yellow in colour all over with large pinkish patches. In this respect, however, it seems to differ somewhat from the more pinkish carapace colour reported for the Australian and Pacific specimens (as C. terraereginae) (Galil, 1997). The significance of these colour differences cannot be ascertained and may just be geographical variation, our recent direct comparisons of specimens from the Andamans with those from the South China Sea and Australia do not reveal any obvious differences at the moment.

68 Phuket Marine Biological Center Special Publication 23(2): (2002) 347 Calappa gallus (Herbst, 1803) PMBC 14606, 1 male, BIOSHELF St. E1, N, E, triangular dredge, 38 m, coll. S. Bussarawit and C. Aungtonya, Calappa gallus had been reported from Phuket by Nateewathana et al. (1981) and Naiyanetr (1998) but this record is incorrect. Their record was based on a specimen identified by S. Lundoer in 1974 and deposited in the Reference Collection (PMBC 2033) we have examined it and it should be referred to C. capellonis instead. Calappa gallus is easily confused with C. undulata or C. capellonis (see Galil, 1997) but they can be separated by several distinct features (see discussion for C. capellonis). The present specimen (PMBC 14606) is thus the first true record of C. gallus from Phuket and western Thailand. Galil (1997) discusses in depth and resolves most of the taxonomic problems associated with this species (see also Ng, 2000). Specimens of C. gallus the first author has seen from East and South China Seas have been collected on reef flats, with the animals hopping from rock to rock when foraging. See also discussion for C. capellonis. Calappa hepatica (Linnaeus, 1758) PMBC 17110, 2 males, 2 females, Andaman Sea, trawled outside PMBC, This is a common littoral and sublittoral species from coral reefs. We have observed specimens from amongst sea-grass beds, and appears to be one of the preferred habitats of this species.

Smaller specimens tend to have a somewhat more granulose carapace, especially on the anterior half. The markings on clypeiform process and chelipeds are distinctive (Figs. 1E, 2C). In smaller specimens, the ventral surface of the whole specimen (including the chelipeds) are dirty orange in colour. Small specimens also have two to four regularly arranged ocelli on the carapace which are lost when the specimen becomes larger (Fig. 1F). Galil (1997) synonymised C. quadrimaculata Takeda and Shikatani, 1990 (known only from Japan and Taiwan) with this species, arguing that their specimens were merely juveniles. This is incorrect and C. quadrimaculata is in fact a valid species (Ng et al., 1999). The problems associated with the taxonomy of this species has been discussed in some depth by Ng et al. (1999).

Dorsal surface of carapace uniformly coloured, without markings; purple to maroon horseshoe-shaped marking surrounding orbit. See also Sakai (1976), Ng (1988, 1998) and Ho (1996). Distribution Australia, Pacific Ocean to South-east Asia and Straits of Malacca. Calappa philargius (Linnaeus, 1758) is one of the better known species of box crabs in the Indo-West Pacific and large specimens can grow to sizes of 120 mm in carapace width (Ng, 1998). The taxonomy of Calappa philargius has long been regarded as very stable, with both Cancer inconspectus Herbst, 1794, and Calappa cristata Fabricius, 1798, regarded as junior synonyms for over a century (see Galil, 1997). The colour pattern of this species is very diagnostic, with a prominent red to purple spot each on the manus and carpus of the cheliped, and a maroon horseshoe-shaped marking encircling the orbit. In the waters off western Thailand, however, the specimens which have been referred to C. philargius differ from this typical form (which occurs all over South-East Asia and the western Pacific) most obviously in its colour pattern it has two longitudinal maroon stripes on its carapace and the outer surface of the chelipeds (manus and carpus) do not have spots. The present study shows that these two colour morphs are actually distinct species. The problem is to ascertain which is the real C. philargius. However, given the rather vague locality description given by Linnaeus (1758) ( Seas of Asia ), C. philargius could well have been collected anywhere in the Pacific or Indian Oceans. Thus the name C. philargius could belong to either morphotype. In the Linnaean collections in Uppsala, Sweden, there is specimen of Cancer philargius Linnaeus, 1758 (see Holm, 1957: 56). This specimen has not been figured before (Fig. 3). In September 1999, Mr. S. H. Tan examined the dried female specimen in question at the request of the first author and took numerous photographs. Even though the specimen, a dried female 84.0 by 62.0 mm (UUZM #240), was rather bleached and one of the median spines was broken, very faint red pigments could still be identified on the manus and carpus, and the slight upward tilt of the posterior spines were apparent, with the tilt on the damaged and regrown spine most obvious. These characters conform with what is now diagnosed as C. philargius s. str. The problem is that this specimen is clearly not one of Linnaeus type(s) of Cancer philargius. The specimen in question was labelled as from the collection of Gustav IV Adolf. The Gustav IV Adolfo collection was obtained by Linnaeus only after 1758, and was reported in his paper of 1764 (Holm, 1957: 56) (see also Wallin, 1997: 16). The present specimen in question was thus obtained only after Linnaeus s description of Cancer philargius in While Linnaeus himself probably identified the specimen, it certainly cannot be regarded as a type. The type of Cancer philargius Linnaeus, 1758, is thus almost certainly lost. Because two closely related species are recognised here, there is a need to establish a neotype to stabilise the nomenclature and taxonomy of the two taxa. It is best to designate a neotype for Cancer philargius Linnaeus, 1758, for the typical colour morph (without carapace stripes but with cheliped spots) as it is the one most commonly cited, figured and studied. To this effect, a male specimen, 81.4 by 56.8 mm recently collected from Singapore (ZRC ) is here designated as the neotype of the species. We have decided against naming the female lectotype of Cancer inconspectus Herbst, 1794 (see below), as the neotype of Cancer philargius Linnaeus, 1758, as it is dried, bleached and without obvious colours. Selecting a fresh specimen clearly recognisable as C. philargius, with colours and tissues (which can be used for future molecular work) intact seems preferable. The same rationale applies for not choosing the Linnaean specimen (UUZM #240) in Uppsala as the neotype. The identity of C. inconspectus Herbst, 1794, is not a problem. From Herbst s plates and figures (1974: 162, pl. 40 fig. 3), it is obvious that they are the same species as C. philargius. Sakai (1999)

72 Phuket Marine Biological Center Special Publication 23(2): (2002) 351 recently provided photographs of a syntype female specimen in the Berlin Museum that confirmed this prognosis. The specimen, collected from somewhere in Asia, is typical of C. philargius as currently recognised, with a broad concavity on the teeth of the posterior margin of the carapace, even though it was also bleached such that the spots that are so diagnostic of C. philargius could not be clearly seen. In any case, Herbst s orginal figure of the species clearly shows the spots on the chelipeds and the absence of any stripes on the carapace. This specimen is here designated the lectotype of Cancer inconspectus Herbst, Calappa cristata, Fabricius, 1798, originally obtained from China, is more problematic as the type specimen of is believed to be lost (Zimsen, 1964: 650). There is one specimen labelled as C. cristata in the Zoologisk Museum, Copenhagen, which according to an attached label, was regarded by Rathbun to be a possible type specimen. However, the specimen was actually originally labelled by Krøyer, who was curator after Fabricius, and is very unlikely to be the said Fabricius type (T. Wolff, pers. comm.). The type, as Zimsen (1964) correctly concluded, is almost certainly lost. As no type material of Calappa cristata is extant, in the interest of taxonomic stability, it is best to select a neotype for this species. The most simple and rational thing to do here is to select as its neotype, the neotype of Cancer philargius Linnaeus, As such, Cancer philargius Linnaeus, 1758, and Calappa cristata Fabricius, 1798, become objective synonyms.

Dorsal surface of carapace with two prominent maroon longitudinal lines medially; purplish to maroon horseshoe-shaped marking surrounding each orbit. External subdorsal surface of manus and carpus uniformly coloured, both without large maroon spots; inner surface of cheliped with red blotches arranged longitudinally. Etymology The name bilineata refers to the two distinctive longitudinal red stripes on the carapace. At first glance, the external morphology of Calappa bilineata sp. nov. is very similar to C. philargius (Linnaeus, 1758), the most striking difference being the colour pattern. While C. philargius possesses a large maroon spot each on the outer surface of the carpus and manus of the cheliped, these markings are absent on C. bilineata. This difference in colour pattern is valid for all the specimens we have examined of both species thus far. C. bilineata also has two prominent maroon longitudinal stripes flanking the gastric and cardiac region, which are absent in the specimens of C. philargius s. str. This pattern is very apparent even in specimens of C. bilineata as small as 20 mm in carapace width. In C. philargius s. str., the median part of the carapace is usually uniformed coloured, but some specimens may have two greyish longitudinal stripes but these are never as prominent or brightly coloured as those on C. bilineata. Other characters that separate the two species are the shape of the broad concavity between the posterior carapace teeth and the relative length of the posterior median carapace tooth in relation to the adjacent ones, shape of the second abdominal, margin of the fifth thoracic sternal segment, relative length of the posterior carapace spines and structure of the G1. In C. bilineata, the concavity between the posterior carapace spines is usually less pronounced than in specimens of C. philargius of equivalent sizes, with the median posterior spine subequal in length to the adjacent spines. These spines are relatively straight, either rounded at the tips or sharp, and extend further posteriorly away from the carapace margin (vs. a shorter median tooth compared with adjacent teeth, and the teeth not extending so posteriorly from the posterior carapace margin, with the tips slightly turned upwards in C. philargius). The bases and surfaces of the posterior carapace teeth are also usually very heavily granulated, much more so in C. bilineata than in C. philargius. The lateral margins of the second abdominal segment are also relatively more angular in C. bilineata compared with C. philargius which is usually more rounded and broader. The anterior margin of the fifth thoracic sternal segment is also almost straight whereas it is more rounded in C. philargius. The G1 structures of both species are different; with that of C. bilineata wider basally (before it curves outwards), compared with C. philargius which has this part appearing somewhat narrower. Most of the adult specimens of C. bilineata and C. philargius examined in this study show the above features, although in some cases, especially with juveniles and damaged specimens, discerning these differences may not be easy. The colour differences, however, are always clear and distinct in fresh specimens. In addition to the specimens listed here, the first two authors have between them, examined hundreds of fresh and/or live specimens of C. bilineata in Phuket and C. philargius in Taiwan, South China Sea and Singapore brought in by commercial trawlers over the years, and the colour differences observed (especially for the chelipeds) are completely reliable. Although Calappa philargius has been reported from the Indian Ocean (see Alcock, 1896), it is unclear whether those specimens were actually those of C. bilineata, since it has already been established that the known range of C. philargius is confined to South-East Asia and the Pacific. Calappa philargius occurs in waters south of Phuket through the Straits of Malacca and the west Pacific whereas all the C. bilineata specimens used in this study were from the Andaman Sea, Sri Lanka

75 354 International Workshop on the Crustacea of the Andaman Sea and Red Sea. Alcock (1896) mentioned C. philargius in comparison with C. lophos (actually C. guerini), and very little detail regarding the life colour and morphology was discussed. Rice (1999: 82) provides a beautiful colour plate of a specimen (which was identified as C. philargius) from Ceylon (= Sri Lanka) painted by Pieter de Bevere in the Natural History Museum s Loten Collection of paintings. The markings on the specimen figured clearly identify it as C. bilineata. On the available evidence, specimens previously reported as C. philargius from the northern part of the Indian Ocean at least, should be referred to C. bilineata. The records of C. philargius by Jones and Morgan (1994) from the Indian Ocean along the coast of western Australia, however, belong to C. philargius, and are clearly not C. bilineata. The colour figure of C. philargius in Jones and Figure 5 Calappa philargius, Frontal views: A, neotype male (81.4 by 56.8 mm) (ZRC ), Singapore; B, C. bilineata; holotype male (93.1 by 64.9 mm) (PMBC 15789), Andaman Sea.

76 Phuket Marine Biological Center Special Publication 23(2): (2002) 355 Morgan (1994) matches perfectly what is here defined for this species, as confirmed through examination of their specimens. As such, C. bilineata seems to be restricted to the northern part of the Indian Ocean. We also have a large female specimen (RMNH 2507) from the Kossmann collection, supposedly collected from the Red Sea it is clearly referable to C. bilineata as presently defined, with its colour markings still evident. Calappa philargius, C. bilineata and C. dumortieri Guinot, 1962 (Red Sea) form a distinct group within the genus Calappa, with their welldeveloped and posteriorly-directed teeth being the most diagnostic character. Of these, C. philargius has the widest distribution while C. dumortieri appears to be confined to the Red Sea, with C. bilineata occuring in the northern part of the Indian Ocean and apparently also entering the Red Sea. Calappa philargius and C. bilineata have not been found sympatrically, although both may be expected in the northern part of the Malacca Straits which meets the Andaman Sea.

Chulabhorn, This easily recognised species (originally described from the Indian Ocean) is characterised by deep carapace grooves and poorly developed clypeiform processes which do not completely cover the ambulatory legs. Comparisons with specimens from the South and East China Seas do not reveal any differences in colour or morphology. The pale white carapace with broad longitudinal reddish-brown streaks is diagnostic life coloration for this species (Fig. 1D), and is evident even in specimens the first author has examined from Taiwan.

The present record of this apparently rare species from the Indian Ocean extends its range substantially into the Indian Ocean. The live colour of this species is very distinctive, with the posterior part lighter coloured than the rest of the carapace, the two colour zones being demarcated marked by undulating patterns and/or blotches (Fig. 2A, B). The darker anterior part may be dark maroon-brown (Fig. 2B) to orange-brown (Fig. 2A). One consistent character seems to be the presence of a bright yellow ocellus which has a red rim on the dorsal surface of the carpus of the cheliped. Chen (1993) had also clearly described and figured this colour pattern. Ng et al. (1999) provides additional comments on several aspects of the nomenclature of this species.

The present Thai specimen is an adult and keys best to Galil s (1993) description and figures for the species. One of the diagnostic features of this species, according to Figure 6 A, C, Calappa philargius: A, neotype male (81.4 by 56.8 mm) (ZRC ), Singapore; C, male (77.9 by 51.4 mm) (ZRC ), Taiwan.

78 Phuket Marine Biological Center Special Publication 23(2): (2002) 357 Galil (1993), is that the three posterior carapace lobes are low and rounded. This is certainly not the case with the Andaman Sea specimen, with the above mentioned structures being sharp and clearly dentiform, with the median lobe rounded but still distinctly triangular. The value of this character is difficult to determine, but from what is known with many other calappids, it may well vary (e.g. through wear and tear) and may not be reliable. For the moment, we think it is better to regard the Thai specimen as belonging to M. africana. Family Matutidae De Haan, 1835 Key to species of Matutidae 1.

As discussed by Galil and Clark (1994) most of the old records of this species are either incorrect or had been based on material containing more than one species and must be rechecked. It is most frequently confused with M. victor (see discussion for this species). Considering the known range of A. lunaris (see Galil and Clark, 1994; Ng, 1998), however, it is likely that A. lunaris is also present in Thailand. It had been recorded from the area by Nateewathana et al. (1981) and from the Gulf of Thailand by Naiyanetr (1998), and as such, we have retained this species in our keys. Ashtoret miersii (Henderson, 1887) (Fig. 2E) PMBC 16990, 4 males, 2 females; ZRC , 4 males, 4 females, QMW 25762, 1 male, 1 female, Andaman Sea, Pichai Fish Port, trawl, December This is a very distinctively coloured and patterned species (Fig. 2E) and therefore cannot be mistaken for almost any other taxon. The white patch on the gastric region of the carapace varies considerably in shape and size. It is the only species thus or similarly patterned which has a smooth chelipedal dactylus (in other species, e.g. A. picta, the outer surface of the dactylus has a milled ridge).

79 358 International Workshop on the Crustacea of the Andaman Sea Galil and Clark (1994) commented that in this species, there is no prominent median granule on the posterolatral margin, but this is not the case. The series of specimens at hand indicates that the median posterolateral granule is often present, although its strength does vary and may be small. In some specimens, the granule is not clearly discernible. In some specimens, the strong ridges on the outer dorsal surface of the palm are also relatively weaker and less prominent. In other aspects, however, the present specimens agree well with the description and figures of the species by Galil and Clark s (1994). Ashtoret miersii was originally described from nearby Madras, India, and has also been reported from Sri Lanka and Japan (Laurie, 1906; Sakai, 1976).

The species agrees well with the descriptions of Sakai (1976), Galil and Cark (1994) and Ng and Huang (1997). The species was described from Japan, but has been reported over a wide area from Madagascar to Japan. Surprisingly, it has not been formally recorded from Thailand before. The colour of the many specimens examined is very uniform, being an even pinkishred on all dorsal surfaces, with a semi-reticulate pattern of pale red lines on the median part of the carapace (Fig. 2F).

As noted earlier, many of the older records of these species are probably not reliable. The specimens we have examined all belong to M. victor as defined by Galil and Clark (1994). In western Thailand at least, the specimens we have examined supposedly of Matuta lunaris thus far all belong to Matuta victor (Fabricius, 1781). The fresh

80 Phuket Marine Biological Center Special Publication 23(2): (2002) 359 colours of the specimens examined agree well with each other, all of which have a pale yellow carapace background and covered with numerous, very small and evenly scattered black dots. The pereopods are usually brighter yellow (especially the dactylus), the areas near the joints often have purplish-red patches (Fig. 2G). ACKNOWLEDGEMENTS The first author is grateful to the PMBC and DANIDA for arranging for his stay and research stint in Thailand. He is grateful to the head of the Reference Collection, Somchai Bussarawit, for his support, Matz Berggren and Niel Bruce for inviting him for the workshop (and the free beer), as well as the staff of the Andaman Fisheries Development Center for their kindness and help in obtaining specimens.

82 Phuket Marine Biological Center Special Publication 23(2): (2002) 361 NEW RECORDS OF TRAPEZIID CRABS (XANTHOIDEA, TRAPEZIIDAE) FROM THE ANDAMAN SEA COAST OF THAILAND, WITH NOTES ON THE TAXONOMIC STATUS OF TRAPEZIA PLANA WARD, 1941 Peter Castro Biological Sciences Department, California State Polytechnic University, Pomona, California , U.S.A. ABSTRACT A small collection of trapeziid crabs, symbionts of reef corals and other colonial anthozoans, from Phuket Island, Andaman Sea coast of Thailand, has resulted in three new records for the region: Quadrella coronata Dana, 1852, Q. maculosa Alcock, 1898, and Q. serenei Galil, There are now ten species of trapeziids known from the region. A key to these ten species is provided. The taxonomic status of one of these species, Trapezia plana Ward, 1941, is reviewed. Trapezia punctipes Castro, 1997, is found to be a junior subjective synonym of T. plana. INTRODUCTION Our knowledge of the trapeziid crabs of the Andaman Sea is very much incomplete. Lundoer (1974: 7) recorded four species from Phuket: Trapezia cymodoce (Herbst, 1801), T. septata Dana, 1852 (as T. areolata Dana, 1852), an unidentified species of Tetralia (as T. glaberrima (Herbst, 1799), a name that used to include several species of Tetralia), and an unidentified species of Quadrella. Naiyanetr (1998: 87) added two species (Trapezia ferruginea Latreille, 1828 and T. tigrina Eydoux and Souleyet, 1842, as T. wardi Serène, 1970) to Lundoer s list. Castro (1999a) listed four additional species (Tetralia fulva Serène, 1984, Trapezia guttata Rüppell, 1830, T. punctipes Castro, 1977 [= T. plana Ward, 1941, see below], and T. richtersi Galil and Lewinsohn, 1983). The T. ferruginea record of Naiyanetr (1998) is highly questionable as this species has been confused with others. The record possibly resulted from the misidentification of T. plana. Three species of Quadrella (Q. coronata Dana, 1852, Q. maculosa Alcock, 1898, and Q. serenei Galil, 1986) are now added to the trapeziids known from the area, a total of ten species. MATERIALS AND METHODS The material examined is deposited in the Reference Collection of the Phuket Marine Biological Center (PMBC), Thailand; Zoological Reference Collection (ZRC) of the Raffles Museum, Nation University of Singapore; and the American Museum of Natural History, New York, N.Y., U.S.A. (AMNH). LIST OF SPECIES Quadrella coronata Dana, 1852 For synonymy see Galil, 1986: 282. PMBC 16194, 1 female, BIOSHELF St. A3, N, 097º38 E, 83 m, triangular dredge, coll. S. Bussarawit and C.
