Bohol Sea (Image from Google Maps) In a recently published study, three new species of hermit crab namely: Catapagurus exilidigitus, Catapagurus fimbriatus, and Catapagurus latus were described and illustrated based on materials collected by the Panglao 2004 Marine Biodiversity Project from the Bohol Sea. The official descriptions of the new species of hermit crabs were published in the Raffles Bulletin of Zoology on May 17 by Tomoyuki Komai and Dwi Listyo Rahayu. “The number of species of Catapagurus known from the Philippines increases to seven,” the researchers said. In the study, experts described Catapagurus exilidigitus as appears to be closest to another species of hermit crab called C. tanimbarensis within the C. misakiensis species group.
