About Ocypode macrocera H.Milne Edwards, 1837
Ocypode macrocera, commonly known as the red ghost crab, is a species of crab belonging to the family Ocypodidae. It is a medium-sized member of the Ocypode genus, with a range that includes Pakistan, India (including the Nicobar Islands), Sri Lanka, and Myanmar. For adult males of the species, the outer edges of the eye orbits are shaped like teeth and project forward. The upper surface of the claw palm is densely covered in tubercles, and its upper and lower margins are distinctly serrated. The stridulating ridge has between 35 and 56 tubercles with striae. The tip of the smaller claw is characteristically blunt, and the crab's eyestalks have styles.
