Evolution
The species was described by Hendrik Freitag of the Senckenberg Museum of Zoology in Dresden, Germany, having previously been included in a wider circumscription of "I. unicorn". The species is endemic to the island of Palawan, where it has a wide distribution. The striking iridescent purple coloration may help the crabs to recognise others of its species, or may serve no purpose.References:
