A peculiar grapsid crab, Xenograpsus novaeinsularis TAKEDA et KURATA, 1977, hitherto known only by the type specimens from the new volcanic island, Nishino-shima-shinto, about 130 km west of Chichi-jima Island, the Ogasawara Islands, was rediscovered at Akuseki-jima Island, the Takara Islands in the south of Kyushu, and Kita-Iwo-jima Island, the Iwo Islands in the south of the Ogasawara Islands. In both localities the crabs were abundantly found under the rocks covered with sulphureous waste and washed by bubbles in shallow-water thermal spring. The crabs are characteristic in using the bundles of setae covering the tips of both fingers as brush to collect something to eat.
