First record of two species of parthenopid crabs (Crustacea: Decapoda: Parthenopidae) from Korean waters

Abstract

Lambrus Two species of parthenopid crabs, Enoplolambrus laciniatus (De Haan, 1839) and Pseudolambrus lobatus (Flipse, 1930), are recorded for the first time from Korean waters. Enoplolambrus laciniatus is similar to E. validus as the only known Korean species of the genus Enoplolambrus , however, it is characterized by having carinated ambulatory legs without teeth on the outer margins of carpi. Pseudolambrus lobatus is the first recorded species of the genus Pseudolambrus from Korean waters, characterized by having a rounded front, short chelipeds, and a carapace with produced angles posterolaterally. The morphologies of these two species are described and illustrated with color photographs herein.
