Recent surveys of shallow subtidal soft-bottom habitats of Oman and the Red Sea coast of Saudi Arabia have uncovered several crabs new to science. Stemming from these efforts, two crab species are herein described as new to science. The first is a new pinnotherid crab, Indopinnixa arabica n. sp., from northern Oman. The other is a new species of varunid crab, Gopkittisak ngankeeae n. sp., from northern, eastern and southern Oman. Additionally, the first known males of another varunid crab, Brankocleistostoma fossulum (Barnard, 1955), are described and illustrated based on material from eastern Oman and southern Saudi Arabia, also representing a new record of the species for the Arabian region.
近期对阿曼和沙特阿拉伯红海沿岸浅潮下带软底栖息地的调查发现了几种科学界新的螃蟹。基于这些研究,本文描述了两种科学界新的螃蟹物种。第一种是来自阿曼北部的新豆蟹,阿拉伯印度豆蟹(Indopinnixa arabica n. sp.)。另一种是来自阿曼北部、东部和南部的新方蟹科螃蟹,南吉氏方蟹(Gopkittisak ngankeeae n. sp.)。此外,根据阿曼东部和沙特阿拉伯南部的材料,描述并展示了另一种方蟹科螃蟹——巴纳德氏隐颚蟹(Brankocleistostoma fossulum (Barnard, 1955))的已知首批雄性个体,这也代表了该物种在阿拉伯地区的新记录。
