These crabs resemble Daldorfia horrida but with much shorter and somewhat differently shaped chelipeds. They also could be a species of Pseudolambrus, possibly P. calappoides. The two separate specimens figured below were found on the eastern seaward reef and on a large midlagoon pinnacle, both under rocks.
