A fifth species of the pagurid genus Cestopagurus Bouvier, 1897, is described and illustrated on the basis of a single male specimen collected at a depth of 499 m from Hinepuia submarine volcano in the Kermadec Arc, New Zealand. The new species, C. hinepuia, appears similar to C. puniceus Komai & Takeda, 2005 known from waters off Japan, but the different armature of chelipeds distinguishes the new species. It is the first representative of the genus recorded from the South Pacific Ocean. A key for identification of species of the genus is presented.
基于在新西兰克马德克海沟希内普亚海底火山499米深处采集的一个雄性标本，描述并图示了寄居蟹属（Cestopagurus Bouvier，1897）的第五个物种。新物种希内普亚寄居蟹（C. hinepuia）看起来与2005年在日本海域发现的红斑寄居蟹（C. puniceus Komai & Takeda）相似，但螯足的刚毛结构不同，这使其得以区分。它是该属在南太平洋记录到的首个代表物种。文中还给出了该属物种的鉴别检索表。
