Matuta (Moon Crab) belongs to superfamily of Calappoidae which inhabit the sandy beach area. There are four species of Matuta which can be found in Indonesia, one of them is Matuta Purnama . The latest report, despite Indonesia, has long coastlines, showed that the distribution area of this species is only in Batu Karas Beach, Pangandaran Regency. This study reported the new distribution areas of M. Purnama in Indonesia. The organism samples were collected using the purposive sampling method in 21 sampling sites and preserved in 96% of alcohol solution. The identification process were conducted based on Lai and Galil, 2007. There were four new distribution area of M. Purnama , which are Panjang Beach (west coast of South Sumatra), Bayah Beach, Karanghawu Beach, and Pangandaran Beach (south coast of Java). In other sampling sites, M. purnama have not been found, but the other Matutas pecies, M. victor , and M. planipes were found . This situation might be influenced by many factors, such as season and sea current, etc. This study was expected to be useful for conservation and management.
