目前為止, 我仍然覺得至少有以下5種品種(或所謂亞種)值得去研究.
1. Coenobita pseudorugosus, 論文是有, 但說到底仍然未有很詳細的資料, 如活體的特徵和彩圖是沒有. 現在只知道印尼有此品種.
2. Coenobita violascens的亞種? 東非有棲息和Coenobita violascens很相似的個體, 只是體色比較淺.
3. Coenobita scaevola的亞種? 東非及Seychelles有棲息和Coenobita scaevola很相似的個體.
4. Maldives有棲息一群純白色體色的個體, 和Coenobita rugosus很相似, 但眼柄底沒有黑色斑點(或不明顯).
5. Coenobita carnescen, 到現在還沒有很詳細的資料, 有日本研究生應為是Coenobita perlatus的幼體, 但Coenobita perlatus的幼體, 雖然有部分不是整隻呈橙色, 但會是白色體色著橙色環帶, 而不是白色體色著灰色環帶.
Until now, there should be at least 5 species of Coenobita need to be further studied.
1. Coenobita pseudorugosus, although this species was introduced by scientific article, still no detial information (only specimen drawing), no correct color picture of specimen. Now only know that they can be found in Indonesia.
2. Subspecies of Coenobita violascens? There are some specimens with light body color very similar to Coenobita violascens that can be found in East Africa.
3. Subspecies of Coenobita scaevola? There are some specimens very similar to Coenobita scaevola that can be found in East Africa and Seychelles.
4. There are some specimens very similar to Coenobita rugosus that can be found in Maldives, but no dark band (or not obvious) on the lower surfaces of the eyetalks.
5. Coenobita carnescen, still no detial information, A researcher from Japan think they are juvenile of Coenobita perlatus, but even though some juvenile of Coenobita perlatus is not whole body in orange color, they are white body color with transverse band in orange, not white body color with transverse band in gray/brown.
