摘要
A new species of hymensomatid crab is described from a reef in Chek Jawa in Pulau Ubin, Singapore. Superficially resembling the mangrove-dwelling Neorhynchoplax mangalis (Ng, 1988) from southern Peninsular Malaysia and Singapore, N. venusta n. sp. is easily distinguished by its unarmed ambulatory dactyli. It can be separated from all congeners with unarmed ambulatory dactyli in the Indo-West Pacific by its combination of rostral, carapace and ambulatory leg characters.
