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.’
