Jacob Dafni commented on "Calappa hepatica (Linnaeus, 1758)":
I know C. Hepatica from the RS. Most of the pics seem to me to be Calappa, not sure about the species - except the 7th exemplar which has darker pincers. You should consult Prof. J Poupin who used to be in Polynesia (don't know his present address)

Cyndy Parr commented on "Image of Calappa hepatica":
This looks very different from the other images in the Calappa hepatica media gallery http://eol.org/pages/343925/media. Is it a different sex or life stage or is there some misidentification somewhere?
