跟據1990的論文< Coastal Hermit Crabs (Decapoda: Anomura) from Kenya, with a Review and Key to East African Species >,Hilgendorf (1869) 在蒙巴薩(Mombasa)記錄的個體為Coenobita violascens (=C. cavipes)。
1997
① 跟據1997年的論文< Notes on the Macro-benthos of Kenyan mangroves >,Coenobita cavipes(下圖)偶爾出沒於紅樹林的沙灘地區。
② 跟據1997的論文< Ecology of tropical hermit crabs at Quirimba Island, Mozambique: vertical migration (tree climbing) >,Coenobita cavipes只出沒於紅樹林或附近。
2001
跟據2001的論文< Reappraisal of hermit crab species (Crustacea: Anomura: Paguridea) reported by Camille Heller in 1861, 1862 and 1865 >,Hilgendorf (1869) 鑑定蒙巴薩(Mombasa)、肯亞(Kenya)、尚西巴(Zanzibar)的個體為Coenobita violascens。在蒙巴薩(Mombasa)記錄的雄性個體,被其中一位著作者McLaughlin P. A再經調查後,認為應該是Coenobita cavipes。他認為Hilgendorf沒有鑑定其插圖,但從左螯腳掌部下緣的中間部的凹凸形狀來看,個體是Coenobita cavipes,不是Coenobita violascens。
2002
跟據2002的論文< Ecology of subtropical hermit crabs in SW Madagascar: Refuge-use and dynamic niche overlap >的表2,Coenobita cavipes的生棲地為紅樹林。
2013
① 跟據2013年的論文< Land, Mangrove and Freshwater Decapod Crustaceans of Mayotte Region (Crustacea Decapoda) >,Coenobita cavipes有時候被認為是Coenobita violascens幼體的同物異名。按仲宗根幸男 (1988) 的主要特徵和以前的WIO,馬約特(Mayotte)的個體暫時被認定為Coenobita cavipes。
② 跟據2013年的論文< Chumbe Island Coral Park – Conservation and Education, Status report 2013. 1-43, Zanzibar, Tanzania >這報告把這物種定為Coenobita violascens。
跟據2016年6月29日發表的報告< new species of land hermit crab in the genus Coenobita Latreille, 1829 from Singapore, Malaysia and Indonesia, previously confused with C. cavipes Stimpson, 1858 (Crustacea: Decapoda: Anomura: Coenobitidae) >,馬約特(Mayotte)的樣本事實上是Coenobita violascens。另外馬達加斯加(Madagascar)的樣本也和Coenobita violascens相符合(資料當未公開)。
這應該要等< new species of land hermit crab in the genus Coenobita Latreille, 1829 from Singapore, Malaysia and Indonesia, previously confused with C. cavipes Stimpson, 1858 (Crustacea: Decapoda: Anomura: Coenobitidae) >的作者將來公開在東非研究的報告才能確定。
跟據2017年的書藉< A Guide to, and Checklist for, the Decapoda of Namibia, South Africa and Mozambique. Vol. 2 >和2018年的論文< Contributions to the taxonomy of South African hermit crabs (Crustacea: Decapoda: Paguroidea) >確定來自東非的物種是Coenobita violascens。這物種也在非洲南部和南非有記錄。
