A new species of fiddler crab, n. sp. from Fiji, Wallis & Futuna, and Samoa, in the South Pacific is described based on morphological and molecular evidence. This species is closely related to (H. Milne Edwards, 1852), but can be distinguished by a suite of characters, including adult size, carapace morphology, shape and coloration of the major chela, the ratio of major pollex length as a function of carapace width, and male first gonopod form. The molecular evidence of the mitochondrial 16S rDNA and cytochrome oxidase subunit I () supports these morphological differences.
基于形态学和分子证据，描述了一种来自南太平洋斐济、瓦利斯和富图纳以及萨摩亚的新种招潮蟹。该物种与（H. 米尔恩·爱德华兹，1852年）密切相关，但可通过一系列特征加以区分，包括成体大小、头胸甲形态、大螯的形状和颜色、大螯指节长度与头胸甲宽度的函数比以及雄性第一生殖肢形态。线粒体16S rDNA和细胞色素氧化酶亚基I（）的分子证据支持了这些形态学差异。
