Abstract
The sesarmid genus Neosarmatium Serene & Soh, 1970 comprises 12 Indo-West Pacific species, some of them ranging in distribution from South Africa to the South Pacific. New distribution records are provided for six species, viz. N. fourmanoiri Serene, 1973, N. laeve (A. Milne Edwards, 1869), N. meinerti (de Man, 1887), N. rotundifrons (A. Milne Edwards, 1869), N. indicum (A. Milne Edwards, 1868), and N. trispinosum Davie, 1994. Chiromantes tangi (Rathbun, 1931) is transferred to Neosarmatium based on its morphological similarity to N. laeve. A new species, N. daviei sp. nov. is described based on material from Sulawesi, and a revised key for the 14 currently recognized species of Neosarmatium is presented.
