① 台灣產寄居蟹名錄,深紫陸(Coeonbota violascens)的圖片已經更新了,3張圖片也是Coeonbota violascens(深紫陸)。
② 2月時曾和施習德教授聯絡,回覆是這兩種的分辨還需要更多形態與分生證據才能確認。 所以目前凹足陸(Coenobia cavipes)在台灣仍然是消失中呢,還有待學者們繼續研究。
③ 深紫陸(Coeonbota violascens)已被確定下來。中文學名為藍紫陸寄居蟹,這物種最新被紀錄於2012年12月出版的< 鐵甲武士—東沙島海濱蟹類 >一書中。

引用< R.RESHMI AND A. BIJUKUMAR (2010) First report of the hermit crabs Coenobita brevimanus and Coenobita rugosus (Crustacea: Decapoda: Anomura) from the Indian coast >,日本早已把凹足陸(Coenobia cavipes)和深紫陸(Coeonbota violascens)分為2種不同物種。
‘Coenobita cavipes Stimpson probably was the only species of this genus reported from India (Ajmal Khan & Natarajan, 1984). For many years C. violascens has been considered as a synonym of C. cavipes. However, a later report by Nakasone (1988) considered C. cavipes (type locality, Japanese island of Okinawa) and C. violascens (type locality, Red Sea) as distinct species, which demands further examination of Indian species of the genus Coenobita.’
