Ghatiana dvivarna's type locality is Bare in the Uttara Kannada district of Karnataka in the Western Ghats.

[1]The specific epithet, dvivarna (द्विवर्ण) is derived from the Sanskrit word for ‘bicolor’, after his discover Mr.P.P.Bhajantri wanted to name the crab in Kannada, so the Sanskrit word (which is also present in Kannada) was chosen, referring to the crab's colour in life, which mainly consists of two colours (white and red-violet).

[1][2] The species inhabits elevated mountains of the Central Western Ghats in rocky outcrops with grassy vegetation.
