"Five species of Nematopagurus are found in the seas of India, mostly in the sublittoral depths; the only other species known is Nematopagurus longicornis, Edw. and Bouv., from depths of about 42 to about 1410 fathoms of the Eastern Atlantic (from the North of Spain to Cape Verde) and the Western Mediterranean. It is a remarkable fact...that this Atlantic and Mediterranean species differs in only a few trifling particulars from a species found at 102 fathoms in the Arabian Sea."
Alcock, 1905; pg. 834
"This genus resembles Eupagurus [Pagurus] on the one hand and Catapagurus on the other, but dififers from both in the rather remarkable character—a character shared also by Pylopagurus, Pylo-paguropsis [Pylopaguropsis], and Munidopagurus—that the female only (not the male) has a pair of appendages, modified for sexual purposes, on the first abdominal segment.
It agrees with Catapagurus in having the vas deferens of the right side protruded, but the protruded tube ends in a long slender filament: moreover the left vas deferens also protrudes, though it forms only a short conical tube."
