Abstract
The sublittoral hermit crab Pagurus trigonocheirus (Stimpson, 1858) (Crustacea: Decapoda: Paguridae) is recorded from depths of 80–200 m along the continental coastline of the Peter the Great Bay, Sea of Japan. The exact sampling localities as well as photographs of live specimens are presented in the paper. Doubtful records of hermit crabs from the southern Russian coastline of the Sea of Japan are also discussed.
