Vertical range : Land & Freshwater - Min-Max observed: 0-0 m

Central Pacific data (Wallis & Futuna, Polynesia, Clipperton, Easter Island)
Coenobita olivieri - Nobili, 1907: 374 ("Tarawao, Papenoo" = Tahiti, Tarauru-Roa; cf. Remark). - Seurat, 1934: 52 (Tahiti, Gambier). - Forest, 1956a: 1056 (French Polynesia). - Poupin, 1994a: 14 (Tahiti; cf. Remark); 1996a: 12, 13, 77 (Checklist). - Not Coenobita olivieri - Dana, 1852b: 470 = C. spinosus H. Milne Edwards fide Ortmann (1892a: 318). - Bagnis & Christian, 1983: 108, photograph (Tuamotu) = C. perlatus H. Milne Edwards fide Poupin (1994a: 12). - Remark: A specimen attributed by Nobili to Coenobita olivieri (Owen, 1839) has been examined previously (Poupin, 1994a; Tahiti "Papenoo", MNHN Pg2111). It is very close to Coenobita spinosus, and Ortmann's (1892a) opinion that Coenobita olivieri is only a variety of C. spinosus, could be justified. Examination of the type material is required to clarify that point.
