Ocypode ceratophthalmus (Pallas, 1772)                     角眼沙蟹*
                   
     


: 屬名「Ocypode」源自希臘字「okys 快速的 」以 及「-pod 腳 」的組合,即飛毛腿 (fleet-footed swift-footed) 的意思,因此曾有「racing crab」的稱呼,表示其驚人的奔跑速度。「ghost crab」(幽靈蟹) 的稱呼,乃源自其善於忽隱忽現的行為,由於其體色接近沙粒、驚嚇時能迅速隱沒於洞中、以及快速的奔跑能力,因此令人有幽靈般的錯覺。種名字首「cerat」為「有角的」,字尾「ophthalm」則是「眼」的意思,因此英文名為「horned ghost crab」(角眼幽靈蟹)。
