Fiddler Crabs Home

New Zealand

Included Within
Polynesia, Australasia
Note
Kirk (1880) and Filhol (1885) describe new species of fiddler crabs from New Zeland, but there is no subsequent evidence of fiddler crabs there. More than likely, these specimens (which have been subsequently lost) were collected elsewhere or were stray individuals that washed up on New Zeland during storms without representing an established population.
