Abstract

A new species of semiterrestrial highland vampire crab of the family Sesarmidae, Geosesarma larsi n. sp., is described from western Sarawak. This brings the number of Bornean Geosesarma species to 12. Geosesarma larsi n. sp. is distinguished from congeners by the structures of the carapace, third maxilliped exopod and gonopods, as well as the proportions of its ambulatory legs. The colour pattern in life is also strikingly different from allied species. Notes on its ecology are provided and conservation threats briefly discussed.

摘要

描述了来自砂拉越西部的地蟹科半陆生高地吸血鬼蟹新物种——拉氏地蟹（Geosesarma larsi n. sp.）。这使得婆罗洲地蟹属物种的数量增加到12种。拉氏地蟹（Geosesarma larsi n. sp.）通过其头胸甲、第三颚足外肢和交接器的结构以及步足比例与同属其他物种相区分。其活体的颜色模式也与近缘物种显著不同。文中提供了关于其生态的记录，并简要讨论了保护威胁。
