A new porcellanid species of the genus Enosteoides Johnson, 1970 is described on the basis of a single specimen collected from the burrow of an unidentified snapping shrimp of the genus Alpheus Fabricius, 1798, on the subtidal coarse sediment in Okinawa Island, Ryukyu Islands, southwestern Japan. Enosteoides lapis n. sp. is similar to E. melissa (Miyake, 1942) and E. philippinensis Dolorosa Werding, 2014 in the general morphology of the frontal region of the carapace, third thoracic sternite, and ambulatory legs, but is distinguished from both by the dorsal surface of the carapace being more strongly uneven, as well as by the absence of dense plumose setae on the lateral margins of the carapace, anterodorsal surfaces of the chelae, and anterior and posterior margins of the ambulatory meri.
基于在日本西南部琉球群岛冲绳岛的潮间带粗砂沉积物中从一个未鉴定的 Alpheus Fabricius，1798 属的虾的洞穴中采集到的单个标本，描述了一个 Porcellanid 属的新种 Enosteoides Johnson，1970。Enosteoides lapis n. sp. 在头胸甲的额区、第三胸板和步行足的一般形态上与 E. melissa（Miyake，1942）和 E. philippinensis Dolorosa Werding，2014 相似，但与两者的区别在于背甲表面的强烈不均匀性，以及背甲、螯肢的前背表面和步行足的前缘和后缘无密集的刚毛状刚毛。
