Eupagurus sinuatus Stimpson, 1858 Pagurus sinuatus is a large species of hermit crab found in Australia and the Kermadec Islands.

Pagurus sinuatus is a large species of hermit crab, and normally inhabits rounded gastropod shells.

It is distinguished from other hermit crab species in Australia by its solid, hairy chelipeds (claw-bearing appendages), although there may be further undescribed species within its range.

[2] It reaches a maximum "shield length" (distance from the rostrum to the cervical groove on the carapace) of 14.5 millimetres (0.57 in).

[3] Pagurus sinuatus is found in the intertidal zone along the coasts of the Australian states of New South Wales, South Australia, Victoria and Western Australia,[3] and in the Kermadec Islands (New Zealand).
