DESCRIPTION OF A NEW GENUS AND NEW SPECIES OF SESARMIDAE (DECAPODA: BRACHYURA) FROM THE FARASAN ISLANDS, SAUDI ARABIA, RED SEA

摘要

A new genus, Eneosesarma, is created for a new species of sesarmid crab, E. azizi, from Saso Island, Farasan Archipelago, Saudi Arabia. The new species shows close affinities with species of the sesarmid genera Sesarmoides Serene and Soh, 1970 and Karstarma Davie and Ng, 2007, but differs from these in regard to carapace shape, morphology of male G1, and absence of stridulatory organ.
