The new record of Heteropilumnus sasekumari (Serène, 1971) and Aniptumnus quadridentatus (De Man, 1895) (Crustacea, Decapoda, Brachyura, Pilumnidae) from mangrove habitat in Papua, Indonesia
Abstract
Based on morphological evidence, we report a new record of Heteropilumnus sasekumari (Serène, 1971) for the first time in Indonesian water, and the third record of Aniptumnus quadridentatus (De Man, 1895) after its description from Pontianak and record from Singapore. These two species were collected from mangrove habitat in Timika, Papua, Indonesia. The female gonopore of these two species are described and illustrated for the first time in this paper
