Abstract

Calcinus kurozumii, new species, is described and illustrated based on specimens from the northern Mariana Islands, Micronesia. It is a member of the group in which the dactyls and propodi of the third pereiopods have dense brush-like setae on the ventral face. The new species is distinguished from other Indo-West Pacific species of the group by the armature of the left cheliped. The new species is compared with a similar species from Polynesia, C. revi Poupin and McLaughlin, 1998. Calcinus revi is rediagnosed based on new material from the Izu-Ogasawara-Mariana Arc, and growth-related morphological variations and color are reported. A key to the Indo-West Pacific species of Calcinus with the brush of setae is provided.
