    • GDESC:  頭胸甲橫長方形,表面具顆粒及軟毛,雄性尤密。眼窩寬,背、腹緣均具鋸齒。前側緣含眼窩外齒共三齒,前兩齒間的缺刻深。口前板中部內凹,第三顆足長節短於座節。雄螯較雌螯粗壯,掌節表面光滑,兩指下彎,指端匙狀,不動指咬合緣基部有一枚三角形大齒。前三對步足長節的背、腹緣均有顆粒及短毛。全身呈上褐色,螯足土黃色。退潮後拖泥帶水活躍於仍積水的泥濘灘地,族群量龐大之處,可見成千上萬的蟹影鑽動。雄蟹揮舞螯足時,挺立身體,高舉雙螯後迅速放下,反覆進行,動作有如高舉雙手口呼萬歲! 故被命名為「萬歲大眼蟹」。
        分布於東亞,台灣、中國大陸(香港至北部渤海灣)、朝鮮半島及日本都有發現記錄。成群穴居於海灣、河口、潟湖、紅樹林沼澤區的廣闊的潮間帶泥灘地或潮溪兩旁。
