“…Anomuran sand crabs and mole crabs (superfamily Hippoidea) currently provide some of best studied examples of digging (Faulkes & Paul, 1997a, b, 1998. All known sand crab and mole crab species in all three families (Albuneidae and Blepharipodidae, referred to collectively here as non-hippid sand crabs, along with the Hippidae, referred to here as hippid mole crabs; Boyko, 2002) are so highly specialized for digging that they cannot walk. When above sand, they swim by rowing the pereiopods and tailflipping in non-hippids, or by uropod beating in hippid mole crabs.…”

Digging is not a well-understood form of locomotion, and it poses different mechanical problems than other forms of locomotion (e.g., walking). The spanner crab (Ranina ranina) digs into sand, primarily using its pereiopods. Above sand, pereiopod movement is variable, with four different movement patterns revealed by tip trajectories. The most common pattern of pereiopod movement above sand is the pattern apparently used for digging: pereiopods 2 and 3 shovel sand forward from underneath the animal, while pereiopod 4 shovels in the opposite direction, pushing the posterior end down into the sand. When above sand, each pair of pereiopods moves in bilateral alternation, but R. ranina switches gait to bilateral synchrony as it descends into sand. The abdomen is also rhythmically active during digging, despite being small and relatively stiff. Ranina ranina can also locomote forward on top of the substrate by punting with pereiopods 2 and 3. Although many aspects of digging in R. ranina are similar to those of digging by other crustaceans, particularly anomuran sand crabs, R. ranina has retained a wider behavioural repertoire. RÉSUMÉ S'enfoncer dans le substrat n'est pas une forme de locomotion bien comprise, et pose des problèmes mécaniques différents des autres modes de locomotion (comme par exemple la marche). Le crabe Ranina ranina s'enfonce dans le sable, utilisant en premier ses péréiopodes. Au-dessus du sable, le mouvement des péréiopodes est variable, avec quatre modèles de mouvement différents, révélés par les trajectoires des extrémités. Le modèle le plus commun du mouvement du péréiopode au-dessus du sable est celui apparemment utilisé pour s'enfoncer : les péréiopodes 2 et 3 rejettent le sable de dessous l'animal vers l'extérieur, tandis que le péréiopode 4 opère en sens inverse, poussant la partie postérieure de l'animal dans le sable. Quand l'animal est sur le sable, chaque paire de péréiopodes se déplace latéralement dans un sens et dans l'autre alternativement, mais R. ranina change de mouvement, suivant une synchronie bilatérale quand il descend dans le sable. L'abdomen est aussi actif en rythme, quand l'animal s'enfonce, en dépit de sa petite taille et de sa relative raideur. Ranina ranina peut aussi se déplacer vers la surface du substrat en ramant avec ses péréiopodes 2 )

Ethnotaxonomical Study of Mole Crab (Crustacea:Hippoidea) on Coastal Community of Cilacap

et al. 2016

Local wisdom is a cultural heritage that needs to be preserved. The Cilacap's coastal communities have traditional taxonomy knowledge that hasn't been informed, especially about mole crab. This study aimed to explore the ethnotaxonomy knowledge of sand crabs (Crustacea: Hippoidea) in Widarapayung coastal communities. The purposive snowball sampling was used for the method, followed by observation and semi-structured interviews with 30 respondents. Data were analyzed descriptively based on observations and interviews. The results showed that the coastal communities in Widarapayung tourist areas could be divided into five groups, namely catchers, collectors, processors, traders, and consumers. The catcher was able to recognize and describe three types of sand crabs based on the shape of the body and their catchment areas. Captured crabs had the local name of 'yutuk jambe' (Emerita emeritus Linnaeus 1767), the appellation was based on carapace shape that resembled the shape of areca fruit; 'Yutuk bathok' (Hippa adactyla Fabricius 1787), had the carapace shape resembling a coconut shell, and 'yutuk Kethek' (Albunea symmysta Linnaeus 1758), had ornaments on the carapace surface similar with a monkey face, there were dense setae on the edge of the carapace, spiny long antennas and aggressively pinch when captured. The knowledge and skills of sand crabs classification and local name entitlement acquired by the people were in accordance with the Berlin's model.

“…These hippoids are specialized to live buried in sandy substrates or fine sediment from the intertidal to offshore zones (Boyko, 2002;Osawa et al 2010;Wardiatno & Mashar 2013). Wardiatno et al (2015a) reported seven genera of superfamily Hippoidea distributed in Indonesian waters, including Albunea symmysta.…”

Variation in morphometric characters in four sand crab (Albunea symmysta) populations from four intertidal areas in Sumatra (Aceh and Bengkulu) and Java (Cilacap and Yogyakarta) were studied. Crabs collected from the four sites were measured to obtain 10 morphometric characters, i.e., carapace length (CL), carapace width (CW), ocular peduncle length and width (LOP and WOP), telson length and width (LT and WT), merus length (ML), carpus length (CaL), propodus length (PL), and dactylus length (DL). Allometric relationships were established among three morphometric characters (CW, PL, and DL) for each site, in which CL was fixed on the abscissa as a reference variable. The analysis of covariance showed that population from Yogyakarta had a greater carapace width and the Aceh population had a longer dactylus length. In terms of propodus length, the Aceh population had a longer dactylus length than the Bengkulu population. Two group populations were detected by cluster analysis with 10 morphometric characters, i.e., the Sumatra population and the Java population.
