A new species of a strikingly coloured xanthid crab of the genus Neoliomera Odhner, 1925, is described from coral reefs in Guam, Taiwan, and the Hawaiian Islands. The new species is allied to N. pubescens (H. Milne Edwards, 1834), and N. demani Forest & Guinot, 1961, but differs in the form of the carapace armature, frontal margin, structure of the chela, proportions of the ambulatory merus and the form of the male first gonopod. Neoliomera demani is also recorded from Taiwan for the first time and aspects of its taxonomy are discussed.
1925年，奥德内尔（Odhner）描述了一种新的色彩鲜艳的扇蟹科（Xanthid）新瘤蟹属（Neoliomera）螃蟹，该物种发现于关岛、台湾和夏威夷群岛的珊瑚礁。新物种与柔毛新瘤蟹（Neoliomera pubescens，H. 米尔恩·爱德华兹，1834年）以及德氏新瘤蟹（Neoliomera demani，福雷斯特和吉诺，1961年）有亲缘关系，但在头胸甲的盔甲形态、前缘、螯的结构、步足长节的比例以及雄性第一触角的形态上存在差异。德氏新瘤蟹也是首次在台湾被记录，并对其分类学的一些方面进行了讨论。
