Remarks — These specimens are attributed to Glabropilumnus laevimanus by using diagnosis in Galil & Takeda (1988), without comparison specimens. Most of the characters of G. laevimanus are valid for Mayotte specimens, except for 'upper margins of pereiopodal meri 2-4 carinate', margins being at most angulous.
