Spesies ini dapat dikenal pasti melalui plat rostrum yang tidak mempunyai unjuran apikal yang jelas, telson yang lebih panjang daripada lebar, serta, bagi individu jantan, unjuran bersudut yang tersendiri pada bahagian luar daktillus. Spesies ini memainkan peranan penting dalam jaringan makanan bentik dan turut mempunyai nilai komersial dalam perikanan marin di kawasan tropika dan subtropika. <em>Harpiosquilla harpax</em> masih belum dinilai oleh Senarai Merah IUCN dan oleh itu belum mempunyai status pemuliharaan global yang rasmi.</p><p>&nbsp;</p><p><strong>(English)</strong></p><p><em>Harpiosquilla harpax</em> is a large species of mantis shrimp distributed throughout the Indo-West Pacific region and belongs to the family Squillidae. It is distinguished by a rostral plate lacking a distinct apical projection, a telson that is longer than broad, and, in males, a characteristic angular projection on the outer margin of the dactylus. This species plays an important ecological role in benthic food webs and is also of commercial importance in tropical and subtropical marine fisheries. <em>Harpiosquilla harpax</em> has not yet been evaluated by the IUCN Red List (IUCN) and therefore currently has no official global conservation status.</p>]]></description>
