Pylopaguropsis vicina, a new species of the Paguridae, is described and illustrated from southern Japan and Indonesia. This new species is most similar to P. laevispinosa McLaughlin and Haig, but is distinguished by the armature of the chelae and ambulatory dactyli, spination of the telson, and stripe pattern of the pereopods. Reexamination of specimens referred to P. laevispinosa by recent authors has shown these assignments to be incorrect. A brief supplemental description is provided for P. laevispinosa in order to clarify its systematic status. An amended key to species of the genus Pylopaguropsis is presented.
近缘筒螯寄居蟹（Pylopaguropsis vicina），一种寄居蟹科的新物种，根据来自日本南部和印度尼西亚的标本进行了描述和绘图。这个新物种与平滑筒螯寄居蟹（P. laevispinosa McLaughlin and Haig）最为相似，但在螯和步足指节的刚毛、尾节的刺以及步足的条纹图案方面存在差异。对近期作者所提及的平滑筒螯寄居蟹标本的重新检查表明，这些鉴定是不正确的。为平滑筒螯寄居蟹提供了简要的补充描述，以阐明其系统地位。还给出了筒螯寄居蟹属物种的修订检索表。
