摘要
Ten new species of freshwater crabs are described from Sri Lanka: Ceylonthelphusa alpina, C. durrelli, C. diva, C. savitriae, Mahatha helaya, M. lacuna, M. regina, Perbrinckia fenestra, P. gabadagei and P. rosae. Ceylonthelphusa scansor Ng, 1995, is transferred to the genus Perbrinckia Bott, 1969. With the present additions to the fauna, 45 freshwater crab species of parathelphusid crabs are now recognized from the island, all of them endemic.
