摘要：

Five species of Episesarma have been reported from Singapore mangroves - E. chentongense (Serene & Soh, 1967), E. mederi (H. Milne Edwards, 1853), E. palawanense (Rathbun, 1914), E. singaporense (Tweedie, 1936), and E. versicolor (Tweedie, 1940). All have diagnostic characters for the male chela and gonopod, which easily separate the species. Their colour in life, notably of the chela, is also distinct. However, the identities and colours of the chelae of E. chentongense and E. palawanense have been confused. The present study, which re-examined all the type material, provides a detailed taxonomic account for all five species found in Singapore.
