[Ongoing studies by P. K. L. Ng and A. -Y. Dai indicate that Ocypode (Pachysoma) ajfinis De
Haan, 1837 (type locality Japan) is a separate species from Parasesarma plicatum (Latreille,
1806) (type locality East India) and should be regarded as distinct. These studies indicate that
the Taiwanese specimens which have been referred to " Parasesarma plicatum" clearly belong
to P. affinis instead. For the time being, and until these results are published, we use the
name Parasesarma plicatum solely for convenience]
