Intrapopulational variation in the shapes of the carapace and telson of the Indo-Pacific mole crab Hippa pacifica Dana 1852, collected from a sandy beach in Magoong, Linamon, Lanao del Norte, Philippines was analyzed using the tools geometric morphometrics. Differences in carapace pigmentation were observed indicating genetic polymorphism in the population and possible adaptation to avoid predation. Principal component analyses of relative warp data revealed that some gravid mole crabs have morphologically distinguishable carapace and telson shapes, indicating possible correlations between the carapace shapes, telson and fecundity.
