Taxonomy: Crane (1975: as U. (Deltuca) dussumieri dussumieri View in CoL ), Shih et al. (2015).

Type: Lectotype ò in MNHN (designated by Crane 1975).

Type locality: Samarang, Java, Indonesia.

Distribution: West Pacific: New Guinea, Indonesia, Philippines, South China ( Hong Kong), Taiwan and Ryukyus ( Crane 1975; Shih et al. 2016b).

Habitat: Intertidal; on muddy substrates with coarse sediments, sometimes near shades of vegetation ( Shih et al. 2015).

Remarks: Despite report from “ Guangdong ” by Dai et al. (1986) and Dai and Yang (1991), presences of this species along shores of South China remained unverified ( Shih et al. 2010b). However, as pointed out by the late Prof. S.-L. Yang (pers. comm. to HTS), the illustrated specimen from “ Guangdong ” was actually collected from Hong Kong, with no precise date or data otherwise known (see Shih et al. 2010b). Throughout excursions spanning the 2010s, no occurrence of this species was encountered. Recent investigations, however, show the species to occur locally in small populations ( Jimenez et al. 2024), and herein included.
