Clibanarius Dana, 1852

Remarks. Clibanarius is characterised by an elongated shield with relatively long ocular peduncles, small ocular acicles, long with very short and sparse setae of the antennal flagella, equal or subequal chelipeds, and a short telson with the posterior lobes rounded and lined with spinules. The genus comprises 58 species ( McLaughlin et al., 2010; Negri et al., 2014; Marin, 2016) distributed in tropical and subtropical areas of the world oceans, but most of the species live in the Indo-West Pacific. With two species newly recorded here, eight species are now found in Singapore water ( Rahayu, 1996; present study).
