摘要：

The systematic position of the New Zealand sentinel crab Macrophthalmus (Hemiplax) hirtipes (Jacquinot, in Hombron & Jacquinot, 1846) has been questioned because the zoeal morphology is incongruent with that of other species assigned to the genus. A molecular phylogeny based on the mitochondrial large subunit (16S) rRNA gene indicates M. hirtipes is distinct from other macrophthalmid species, and found to be more closely related to the New Zealand varunids Austrohelice crassa, Hemigrapsus crenulatus, and Hemigrapsus sexdentatus. This indicates that the genus Macrophthalmus Desmarest, 1823 needs to be revised.
