Morphological and Molecular Evidence for the Identity of Two Land Hermit Crabs Coenobita longitarsis De Man, 1902 and C. pseudorugosus Nakasone, 1988 (Crustacea: Decapoda: Anomura: Coenobitidae)
*Thank you this article credit me →Thanks for providing useful information of the two species
Remark – Coenobita longitarsis vs Coenobita cavipes
Above new paper mentioned that C. longitarsis is also similar to C. cavipes in the coloration of brownish gray, but no distinct dorsolateral margin on the left P3 propodus in C. longitarsis (Figs. 1G, 2G, 3A, C, 4A–C, 5C) (vs. dorsolateral margin delimited by row of corneous tipped tubercles in C. cavipes.
But actually it is very different to distinguish these two species from almost same appearance.
