Remarks. The specimens represent the first record of G. glabrous sensu stricto from Japanese waters. Previous records of G. glabrous from Japan (e.g., Fukuda 1908, 1910, 1913) are based on G. falcatus . Gonodactylaceus glabrous exhibits highly variable body patterning similar to that of G. falcatus reported above, but the meral spot of raptorial claw is orange rather than yellow ( Fig. 1G–I).

Distribution. Western Australia, Indonesia, the Philippines and now from Japanese waters; intertidal to 42.5 m.
