Published online by Cambridge University Press: 06 January 2011
Abstract
In the present paper the authors record the occurrence of two hermit crabs, Coenobita brevimanus Dana and C. rugosus H. Milne-Edwards, for the first time from the Indian coast. The records show the extended distribution of both the species of hermit crabs and suggest their possible continuous distribution from the east coast of Africa to the south-west Pacific Ocean.
