Abstract:
The following new brachyuran records are reported from Taiwan: Sphaerodromia ducoussoi, Cryptodromia tumida (Dromiidae), Lambrachaeus ramifer (Parthenopidae), and Sakaila japonica (Aethridae). Additional records of some uncommon species from Taiwan, namely Metadynomene tanensis (Dynomenidae), Petalomera granulata (Dromiidae), Daldorfia horrida (Parthenopidae), and Aethra scruposa (Aethridae) are also reported. These bring the number of species known from Taiwan to: Dromiidae (11), Dynomenidae (1), Parthenopidae (12), and Aethridae (2). Les mentions nouvelles concernant les Brachyoures de Taiwan sont données pour les espèces suivantes: Sphaerodromia ducoussoi, Cryptodromia tumida (Dromiidae), Lambrachaeus ramifer (Parthenopidae) et Sakaila japonica (Aethridae). Des citations supplémentaires de Metadynomene tanensis (Dynomenidae), Petalomera granulata (Dromiidae), Daldorfia horrida (Parthenopidae) et Aethra scruposa (Aethridae) sont également fournies. Ceci porte le nombre d'espèces connues de Taiwan à: Dromiidae (11), Dynomenidae (1), Parthenopidae (12) et Aethridae (2).Document Type: Research article
