Thanks Anouk,

This is a very interesting record. As far as I know C. hintuanensis has not been recorded this far west in the Indian Ocean. It also seems that the fauna of the coast of Thailand and Burma has an interesting link to the western Indian Ocean as well as a link to Indonesia and the Philippines The yellow spots in your animal and the yellow spots in animals on the Forum from Thailand and Burma, further support the connection.

Best wishes,
Bill Rudman
