- GDESC:　　頭胸甲寬半圓形，背面甚隆起，光滑，淡紫底色上具米黃色細縱條紋，心胃區兩側各1條米黃縱溝。前、後側緣各具4個及2個齒形翼狀突出，表面具暗紫色虎斑條紋，後緣具3銳齒。螯足掌節側扁，背緣具數齒，內、外側緣表面具深紫色虎斑或斑點，可動指明顯呈彎鉤狀，末端尖銳，右螯兩指內緣基部臼狀突起，末端尖銳，左螯兩指內緣具不規則齒。最大甲寬13公分，通常9~12公分。常被底刺網或蟹(龍蝦)籠所捕獲，因殼厚肉少，非主要食用蟹，故僅見於產地魚市場與其他主要食用種(如梭子蟹)搭配出售。
  　　廣分布於印度－西太平洋，鄰近地區日本東京灣至九州、韓國、中國大陸及台灣各地沿岸皆常見。棲息於近沿海20-60公尺沙底或岩礁邊緣，以小型甲殼十足類或單枚貝類為食。
