“…A somewhat similar observation for the shield is reported for C. anani by Poupin & McLaughlin (1998), and for C. gaimardii (H. Milne Edwards, 1848) by Asakura et al (2002). Thus, it appears that shield coloration alone must be used with caution as a diagnostic character for Calcinus species.…”

“…Out of 33 known Indo-West Pacific Calcinus species, 18 have been recorded to date from French Polynesia (Poupin 1997;Poupin & McLaughlin 1998). The present study, based on French collections obtained during the BENTHAUS Expedition to the Austral Islands (the southernmost of these Polynesian islands), expands the knowledge of morphology, coloration, or distribution of ten Calcinus species.…”

“…One new species was discovered, and a specimen of unclear identity but sharing affinities with C. sirius Morgan, 1991, was found. Other Calcinus species found in these relatively deep-water collections are: C. anani Poupin & McLaughlin, 1998, C. gouti Poupin, 1997, C. haigae Wooster, 1984, and C. spicatus Forest, 1951. One of these, C. gouti, was known based only on the holotype used by Poupin (1997), and the new specimens found during this study have made it possible to provide a more complete diagnosis.…”

“…Individuals are relatively small, and their striking colour patterns are important in species recognition. Careful documentation of colour patterns during the last 20 years has led to the description of many new species in the Indo-West Pacific region, including Hawaii (Haig & McLaughlin 1984), Mariana Islands (Wooster 1984), Australia (Morgan 1991;Morgan & Forest 1991), Mauritius (Gherardi & McLaughlin 1994), French Polynesia (Poupin 1997;Poupin & McLaughlin 1998), Indonesia (Rahayu & Forest 1999) and Japan (Asakura & Tachikawa 2000).…”

Knowledge of morphology, coloration, and distribution of species of Calcinus Dana, 1851 from French Polynesia is expanded based primarily on collections obtained during the French BENTHAUS Expedition in 2002 to the Austral Islands, the southernmost of the French Polynesian islands. Six species of Calcinus were obtained from inshore to depths of 280 m. Of these, one proved to be a new species, C. albengai, and is fully described. This new species has two colour variants, one with pale pink to cream chelipeds that lives in shallow-water from the intertidal to about 50 m, the other with bright orange chelipeds, from deeper waters from about 50 to 280 m. Morphologically this new species is distinguished by differences in the armature of the ocular acicles, aspects of the left and right palms, ventrodistal pilosity of third pereopods, and telson armature. Five species were collected by dredging, trawling, or using traps, in depths of 40 to 280 m: C.

“…A similar pattern is observed in C. anani Poupin and McLaughlin, 1998, but the stripes on the propodi and dactyls merge in an intricate network of reticulations. Calcinus pascuensis is also unique in the setae on the outer face of the right chela, and on the dorsal and ventral margins of P2 and P3.…”
