Abstract

Four species of Notonyx A. Milne-Edwards, 1873, are reported from the Lesser Sunda and Muluku islands in Indonesia. Notonyx castroi n. sp. is characterised by its distinctive male first gonopod, N. gigacarcinicus Clark & Ng, 2006, originally described from western Thailand, is recorded only for the second time, while Banda and Seram are new Indonesian localities for Notonyx kumi Naruse & Maenosono, 2009. Taxonomic notes are given for the recently described N. guinotae Rahayu & Ng, 2010, from Lombok.
