描述了1967年产于圣赫勒拿岛的Platypodiella Guinot一新种，P. georgei spec, nov.。该种与Palythoa Lamouroux， 1816 （Zoantharia）的结壳种有关联。有充分的证据表明，东大西洋的P. picta （A. Milne-Edwards, 1869）和西大西洋的P. spectabilis （Herbst, 1794）也习惯地与Palythoa的包壳物种生活在一起，很少与其他动物生活在一起。对于这一属的两种东太平洋成员，P. rotundata （Stimpson, 1860）和P. gemmata (Rathbun, 1902)，至少有一份相当详细的出版记录表明，这些物种也与Palythoa有联系。因此，这一习惯似乎适用于所有五种属的成员。另外两种螃蟹的数据也被添加，即Pitho Iherminieri （Desbonne & Schramm， 1867年）（马氏科）（西大西洋）和Banareia armata A. Milne Edwards， 1869年（黄氏科）（印度尼西亚水域），它们也可能与Palythoa群落有关。
A new species of Platypodiella Guinot, 1967, from the island of St. Helena, P. georgei spec, nov., is described. This species was found associated with encrusting species of Palythoa Lamouroux, 1816 (Zoantharia). Ample evidence is presented that both the eastern Atlantic P. picta (A. Milne-Edwards, 1869) and the western Atlantic P. spectabilis (Herbst, 1794) also live habitually associated with encrusting species of Palythoa, rarely with other zoantharians. For each of the two East-Pacific members of the genus, P. rotundata (Stimpson, 1860) and P. gemmata (Rathbun, 1902), there is at least one rather detailed published record suggesting that these species too associate with Palythoa. Thus, this habit would seem to go for all five members of the genus. Data are added on two other crab species, viz. Pitho Iherminieri (Desbonne & Schramm, 1867) (Majidae) (western Atlantic) and Banareia armata A. Milne Edwards, 1869 (Xanthidae) (Indonesian waters), which may also associate with Palythoa colonies.
