A Small Collection of Subtidal Crabs (Crustacea: Decapoda: Brachyura) from the Palau Islands Collected by Dredging

抄録

A small collection of subtidal crabs dredged in 1980 around the Palau Islands was examined. The specimens were referred to 31 species of 27 genera in 13 families, with a new species of the family Parthenopidae, Pseudolambrus palauensis sp. nov. Some of the species are common in coral reef waters, but some others are rare and new to not only the Palau Islands, but also Micronesian waters.
