陸寄居蟹網絡日誌オカヤドカリブログ

Overseas crab lovers believed that Indonesian blueberry was same as Coenobita purpurerus which found in Japan.

In 2010, I pointed out in HCA Coenobita purpureus in Japan and Indonesian blueberry may be a different speices.
 

From Jan to Apr of 2016, while I was collecting information about Coenobita species, I found a seminar (2015) in Singapore about Hermit crabs of Singapore. The specimen in that poster should be same as the specimen (Indonesian blueberry) found in Indonesia. In Singapore, this species were always misidentified as Coenobita violascnes. I contacted with Dr Dwi Listyo Rahayu, and got a reply that this species should be a new species and there will be an article published later.https://nusbiodiversity.wordpress.com/2015/10/27/thu-29-oct-2015-7-00pm-dwi-listyo-rahayu-on-hermit-crabs-of-singapore/

So, this may proof that I was right. XD

外國的飼養者一直強調Indonesian blueberry是Coenobita purpurerus.

在2010年, 我在外國討論區推測過日本的Coenobita purpureus和Indonesian blueberry是屬不同品種.


而在2016年1月至4月收集品種資料的期間, 找到一篇有關新加坡寄居蟹的講座(2015), 而海報的個體應該就是在印尼也可發現的Indonesian blueberry. 在新加坡, 不少資料把這品種當作Coenobita violascnes. 我聯絡過Dr Dwi Listyo Rahayu, 回覆是這品種應該是屬於新品種, 日後會有相關資料公開.

這也可以證明我之前的推測應該沒有錯吧 XD
