Several species of rarely reported deep-sea homolid crabs are recorded from various locations in the western Pacific: Homola ikedai, H. mieensis, H. coriolisi, Homolomannia occlusa, Homolochunia kullar, H. valdiviae, H. gadaletae, Lamoha superciliosa, L. longipes, L. longirostris, L. inflata and Yaldwynopsis saguili. Two new species are described a...

This study reports the yearly occurrence and the biology of fisheries belonging to the blue crab Callinectes sapidus (Rath.) in the catch yield of Bardawil Lagoon (BL) in Sinai Peninsula, Egypt over the past 15 years. The study shows that between the years 2000–2015 the crustacean fishery increased (pooling both shrimp and crabs) with fluctuations...
The present study provided information extending the known geographical distribution of the calappid crab Cryptosoma balguerii (Desbonne in Desbonne and Schramm, 1867). We provide new data that extends the range of this species in the western Atlantic farther to the south in the Brazilian region, State of São Paulo and check its identification by m...
Crustacean growth in nature is affected by hormonal processes and natural stressors. For aquaculture purposes, paddle crab (Ovalipes trimaculatus) juveniles were subjected to experimental eyestalk ablation, limb removal, and a combination 3x3 temperature and salinity conditions.

The life cycle of decapod crustaceans can be classified into three distinct morphological phases: larval, juvenile and adult. Despite its recognized importance, studies of the juvenile phase have been neglected. The present study aimed to analyze the growth of juveniles from a single population of Uca maracoani under laboratory conditions, and also...

Based partly on a collection of homolid crabs captured from baited traps in deep waters off French Frigate Shoals, Northwest Hawaiian Islands, in October 2006, the Hawaiian species of the family Homolidae are reviewed. Known genera and species in the Hawaiian Islands now include two species of Homola (H. orientalis and H. dickinsoni), two species of Lamoha (L. williamsi and L. personata), and five genera that are each represented by a single species (Paramola japonica, Moloha major, Yaldwynopsis hawaiiana, Latreillopsis okala, and Homologenus namakae). Seven of the 14 currently recognized genera of the Homolidae and nine of the 74 known species are now known from Hawaiian waters. Colour notes are included for the first time for two species (H. dickinsoni and Y. hawaiiana). A key to the family Homolidae in Hawaiian waters is included.
... Guinot and Richer de Forges (1995), in their revision of the Homolidae, emphasized that the ''sugar-tong'' P5 subchela is the diagnostic character for this species. The old records of this species from the western Pacific by Sakai (1955Sakai ( , 1976, Miyake (1983) and Nagai (1994) have been referred to Homolochunia gadaletae Guinot and Richer de Forges (1995) (see also Richer de Forges and Ng, 2008). ...
... The species has since been reported off western Sri Lanka, Arabian Sea, off the eastern and western coasts of the Andamans, Réunion and Madagascar (Alcock, 1899a(Alcock, , 1900(Alcock, , 1901Richer de Forges, 1981a, 1995). It has also been reported from many parts of the western Pacific (see Davie and Short, 1989;Richer de Forges and Ng, 2008;Ng and Richer de Forges, 2017). Guinot and Richer de Forges (1995) discussed the variation in this species with regard to carapace granulation, form of the anterolateral spine, spinulation on the P2-P4 merus as well as the relative length of the P5 merus. ...

A new species of deep water homolid crab, Homola milkolk, new species, is described from a specimen obtained from a Nautilus (Mollusca: Cephalopoda: Nautilidae) trap in Palau. The new taxon is closest to H. mieensis Sakai, 1979, known from Japan to New Caledonia, but can easily be separated by its proportionately longer carapace, more elongate ambulatory legs, and armature of the carapace and legs. The taxonomy of H. mieensis is also discussed.
... Specimens of Ihlopsis examined from New Caledonia (Richer de Forges & Ng, 2008) and type specimens of the new species are deposited in Muséum national d'Histoire naturelle (MNHN), Paris; National Taiwan Ocean University (NTOU), Keelung, Taiwan; and the Zoological Reference Collection (ZRC), Raffles Museum of Biodiversity Research, National University of Singapore. Measurements provided are of the carapace length (CL: mid-length from base of rostrum to middle of posterior margin) by the carapace width (CW: excluding spine length). ...
A new species of deep-sea homolid crab of the genus Ihlopsis Guinot & Richer de Forges, 1995, is described from Taiwan. The new species differs from its two congeners by the shape and position of the spines on the cephalothorax and pereopods. A record of "Ihlopsis multispinosa (Ihle, 1912)" from Wakayama, Japan most probably belongs to the new species. This brings the number of known species of Ihlopsis to three.

The present study is the second part of a series of reports on the crabs collected by the
KH-72-1 cruise of the RV Hakuhō Maru from the seas of East and Southeast Asia. In this report, 16 species of 14 genera in 10 families of the crabs collected in the depths of the Timor Sea, 295–690 m, are recorded. There were no species common to the Sulu Sea and Sibutu Passage in the Philippines recorded in the first part of this serial report on the crabs collected during the KH-72-1 cruise.
Three homolid crabs, Homolomannia sibogae Ihle, 1912, Latreillopsis bispinosa Henderson, 1888, and Moloha majora (Kubo, 1936) from around the Jeju Islands, southern Korean waters, are briefly described here. Although these species occur widely in the West Pacific or Indo-West Pacific, they all represent the first record of their species and genus in Korean waters. The family Homolidae currently comprises four species in Korea. Brief descriptions and illustrations of selected parts are provided in this article.
The taxonomy of the deep-water homolid crabs Moloha grandperrini Guinot & Richer de Forges, 1995 and M. alisae Guinot & Richer de Forges, 1995 is re-examined, and the types redescribed and figured. Moloha alisae is reported from South Africa for the first time. A new species with an inflated carapace, M. tumida sp. nov., is also described from southern India and compared with its closest congeners.
The identity of the homolid Moloha alcocki faughni (Serène & Lohavanijaya, 1973), from the South China Sea, is clarified, and is here regarded as a junior subjective synonym of Paromola macrochira Sakai, 1916. The taxonomy and reliability of various generic and specific characters of P. macrochira are also discussed.
