Typhlocarcinus nudus Stimpson, 1858b: 96 View in CoL ; Shen 1940a: 230; Shin 2000: tab. 1.

Taxonomy: Rathbun (1910), Tesch (1918a), Sakai (1976).

Type: Presumably lost.

Type locality: Hong Kong.

Distribution: Southeast and East Asia: Indonesia, Singapore, Phuket and Gulf of Thailand, South China, to Japan ( Stimpson 1858b; Rathbun 1910; Tesch 1918a; Sakai 1976; Dai and Yang 1991; Takeda et al. 2000; Ng and Davie 2002; see Remarks below).

Habitat: Subtidal; substrates muddy-sandy; depths 30 to 50 m ( Dai and Yang 1991).

Remarks: After the present species was described from material from Hong Kong, subsequent reports were made from localities across the Indo-West Pacific. Most of them need to be rechecked. Records in the Indian Ocean as presented by Alcock (1900b: from Karachi to various localities in Bay of Bengal) and Stephensen (1946: Persian/Arabian Gulf) were later referred to Typhlocarcinops stephenseni Serène, 1964 instead (see Serène 1964).
