The identity of Chiromantes obtusifrons (Dana, 1851), previously considered widespread in the tropical West Pacific region to the eastern Indian Ocean, is revised and found to be a species-complex. Chiromantes obtusifrons is now considered endemic to the Hawaiian Is., and four new species are described from Guam, Taiwan and Christmas Island. Two species live sympatrically in Taiwan. Species separation is based on carapace and frontal shape and granulation, leg proportions, abdominal somite proportions, and distinctive live colouration.
先前被认为广泛分布于热带西太平洋地区至印度洋东部的钝额螳臂蟹（Dana，1851）的分类被重新修订，发现它是一个复合物种。钝额螳臂蟹现在被认为是夏威夷群岛特有的物种，并且从关岛、台湾和圣诞岛描述了四个新物种。有两个物种在台湾同域分布。物种区分基于头胸甲、额部形状和颗粒、腿的比例、腹部体节比例以及独特的活体颜色。
