Spiny lobsters of the family Palinuridae Latreille, 1802 are known to be industrial crustaceans in the global fishing market amongst other crustacean marine species. has been reported in the Maldives, Japan, Taiwan, Vietnam, the Philippines, Indonesia (Ambon, Irian Jaya, Celebes Island, Seram Island), the Polynesian Islands, Solomon Islands, New Hebrides, Wallis and Futuna and off the coast of northern Australia, but there is uncertainty about their distributions due to the morphological similarity with , and . However, the identification on can only be confirmed if the morphological descriptions are mentioned in literature.
A specimen of the spiny lobster Von Martens, 1872 was discovered in Semporna, located on the west coast of Sabah State, Malaysia Borneo. While the status of has been classified as "least concern" on the International Union for Conservation of Nature Red List, studies on the species' population size, habitat and distribution are still inadequate. This study adopted both morphological and molecular approaches for species delimitation.The phylogenetic position of the Sabah was revealed by the mitochondrial cytochrome c oxidase gene (COI) marker. This represents the first record of the species in the coastal waters of Sabah, despite its wide geographical distribution in the Indo-West Pacific. A revision on the species global distribution was also conducted by harvesting all literature with species named and which were available online including those prior to year 2001 before the presence of is confirmed. Due to the uncertainties on the morphological distribution in previous literature, further studies are required to fill in the missing data for confirmation.
1802年拉特雷耶所命名的龙虾科龙虾是全球渔业市场上的重要甲壳类动物，与其他海洋甲壳类物种一样。在马尔代夫、日本、台湾、越南、菲律宾、印度尼西亚（安汶、伊里安查亚、苏拉威西岛、塞兰岛）、波利尼西亚群岛、所罗门群岛、新赫布里底群岛、瓦利斯和富图纳以及澳大利亚北部海岸都有报道，但由于它们与[其他物种名称]、[其他物种名称]和[其他物种名称]形态相似，其分布情况存在不确定性。然而，只有在文献中提及形态描述时，才能确认对[目标物种名称]的鉴定。
1872年冯·马滕斯所命名的龙虾[目标物种名称]的一个标本在马来西亚婆罗洲沙巴州西海岸的仙本那被发现。虽然该物种在国际自然保护联盟红色名录中的状态被列为“最不关注”，但对该物种的种群规模、栖息地和分布的研究仍然不足。本研究采用形态学和分子方法进行物种界定。通过线粒体细胞色素c氧化酶基因（COI）标记揭示了沙巴[目标物种名称]的系统发育位置。这是该物种在沙巴近海水域的首次记录，尽管它在印度 - 西太平洋地区分布广泛。还通过收集所有在线可获取的包括2001年之前在确认[目标物种名称]存在之前命名为[目标物种名称]和[其他相关物种名称]的文献，对该物种的全球分布进行了修订。由于先前文献中形态分布存在不确定性，需要进一步研究来填补缺失数据以进行确认。
