Material examined: 1 ò, NMNS 8772-11, 4.1 × 2.5, Wanlitong, Pingtung County, 13 May 2009.

Distribution: Indo-West Pacific; French Polynesia ( Serène 1984; Poupin 1996).

Remarks: The morphology of the present specimen ( Fig. 2C–G ) matches key characters of Chlorodiella barbata (Borradaile, 1900) as described by Serène (1984: 257, fig. 170, pl. XXX VI A). Serène noted that this species can be easily distinguished from its congeners by the presence of a tuft of numerous setae on the external surface of the chelae at the articulation of the finger and a relatively simple, truncate tip of G1. This is the first report of this species from Taiwan.
