摘要
A previously unreported collection of small goneplacid crabs from Indonesia and Australia belonging to Raoul Serene and Kasim Moosa is documented herein. Five taxa are reported, including a new species and genus, Kingelus kasimi gen. et sp. nov., from the Moluccas, Indonesia. The new genus differs markedly from allied genera like Carcinoplax, Pycnoplax and Menoplax by its distinctive carapace and gonopod morphology. The range of Pedroplax megalops (Takeda, 1989) is also extended to Indonesia and the Philippines, with Paragoneplax serenei (Zarenkov, 1972) being a new Australian record.
