There was also one sighting of the species from Amba Ghat in Kolhapur district, which is about 115 km north of Amboli.

Adult and sub-adult crabs of the Hathipal area were found in tree holes near the ground level whereas many juveniles gathered under small boulders or foraging on leaf litters.

One freshly recruit crab was also noticed adjacent to an ephemeral stream, which had left its trail.

Local people of the Hathipal area mentioned about feeding on roadkills of snails and millipedes.

During a night field visit, an adult crab was found in a small pond filled with tadpoles, which could also be a possible source of prey.
