Abstract

A new species of spider crab of the genus Leptomithrax Miers, 1876, is described from New Caledonia. Leptomithrax lowryi sp. nov. belongs to a group species that includes L. bifidus (Ortmann, 1893) and L. sinensis Rathbun, 1916, but differs in the structure of the carapace spines and teeth, ischium of the third maxilliped, male thoracic sternal structure, shape of the male telson and the first gonopod.
