Material examined. 5 males, 29.8 by 25.7 mm—33.5 by 29.7 mm, 1 female, 22.8 by 19.0 mm ( ZRC), Bgy. Poblacion, Manukan, Zamboanga del Norte prov., coll. J.B. Neri, 17 Nov. 2017 .
Remarks. Ocypode ceratophthalmus (Pallas, 1772) is a widespread Indo-West Pacific species of ghost crab, ranging from the eastern coast of Africa to the Hawaiian Islands and French Polynesia (Sakai & Türkay 2013). It is one of several species of Ocypode wherein the eyes have a distal corneous extension (stylus), although it can be distinguished from such congeners by the pattern of stridulatory ridges & tubercles on the inner surface of the palm of the major chela (viz. 10–11 interspaced tubercles in dorsal third, 8 thick striae in middle third, and 20–30 closely spaced striae in ventral third), the pointed fingertips of the minor chela, and the unique morphology of the G1 (Sakai & Türkay 2013: 679 (key), figs. 1D–I, 10, 32). In the Philippines, this species has been reported from several localities (see Table 1). The present material ( Fig. 5H View FIGURE 5 ) from Manukan agrees well with the published descriptions of this species.
