Wetenschappelijke beschrijving
New species of �vampire crabs� (Geosesarma De Man, 1892) from central
Java, Indonesia, and the identity of Sesarma (Geosesarma) nodulifera
De Man, 1892 (Crustacea, Brachyura, Thoracotremata, Sesarmidae)
Abstract. Two new species of land-dwelling sesarmid crabs of the genus Geosesarma De Man, 1892, are described
from central Java, Indonesia. These species have been in the aquarium trade for many years and go by the popular
name of �vampire crabs�. The two species, here named Geosesarma dennerle and G. hagen, are formally described
and compared with their closest congeners in Java, G. noduliferum (De Man, 1892) and G. bicolor Ng & Davie, 1995.
The identities of G. noduliferum, the type species of the genus, and G. confertum (Ortmann, 1894) are also clarified.
