Material examined — Mayotte KUW 2009, st. 19, north Islet Handrema, 6-10 m, 1 F 6.8 x 10 mm, MNHN-IU-2013-7229, pre-det. J. Poupin July 2011.
Remarks — Pilumnus fissifrons is known with certainty only from Australia. This pre-determination is proposed with hesitation based on key and diagnosis in Takeda & Miyake (1968), without comparison specimens. The specimen from Mayotte has the same pilosity, shape of carapace, and slopping front with marked median fissure.
