Odiomaris pilosus (A. Milne-Edwards, 1873) View in CoL
Characterised by numerous thin, stiff spinules on carapace margins, rostrum, pterygostomial regions, walking legs and chelipeds, is the largest freshwater hymenosomatid crab known ( Ng & Richer de Forges 1996: 6, figs 5–7; 2007: 317; Guinot & Richer de Forges 1997: 460, figs 1a–d, 2a–f; Richer de Forges et al. 1997: 234; Juncker & Poupin 2009: 11, pl. 5: two photos; Poupin 2010: 59; Davie et al. 2015a: fig. 71-2.1.e; 2015b: 947). According to Richer de Forges et al. (1997: 234), the species is common in New Caledonian rivers from the estuary inland for several kilometres, in shallow freshwaters, under or between rocks in rivers with rapid currents (G. Marquet, pers. com.); in some drainages, it is a dominant species ( Marquet et al. 2003: 108, fig. p. 109).
