Abstract

A new species of vampire crab, Geosesarma garutense n. sp. is described from Garut in the eastern part of West Java, Indonesia. The species is unusual among congeners in Java in that the exopod of the third maxilliped does not possess a flagellum, the carapace is broadly rectangular in shape and the G1 relatively is short and stout, with the chitinous distal part spatuliform.
