Family Sesarmidae (Dana, 1851) – Mangrovenkrabben / Mangrove Crabs

Type species: Sesarma bocourti A. Milne-Edwards, 1869, by present designation. Gender neuter. Etymology: The name is derived from the combination of the Latin “contusus” for flattening surface, with the genus name Sesarma. This alludes to the flat chelae that the two included species use to help in burrowing. The gender is neuter.

Included species:
Sesarma bocourti A. Milne-Edwards, 1869
Sesarma cheirogona Targioni Tozzetti, 1877.

Guinearma (Shahdadi & Schubart 2017)

Family Sesarmidae

Type species: Grapsus huzardi Desmarest, 1825, by present designation

Etymology: The name Guinearma is composed of two parts: Guinea is derived from the Gulf of Guinea, the main distribution area of the genus and -arma has become a typical ending for new genera in the family Sesarmidae, making reference to the type genus Sesarma. Gender neuter.

This genus includes three species as follows (the synonym (after =) and original combinations [in square brackets] are adopted from Ng et al., 2008):
• Guinearma alberti (Rathbun, 1921) comb. nov. [Sesarma (Chiromantes)]
• Guinearma huzardi (Desmarest, 1825) comb. nov. [Grapsus] = Sesarma africana H. Milne Edwards, 1837
• Guinearma kamermani (De Man, 1883) comb. nov. [Sesarma (Chiromantes]

Family Sesarmidae (Dana, 1851)

Type species: Leptarma leptosoma (Hilgendorf, 1869) comb. nov. = Sesarma leptosoma Hilgendorf, 1869, present designation. Parasesarma

Etymology: The name Leptarma is composed of the Greek λεπτός, leptos, thin, referring to the name of the type species epithet leptosoma, derived from λεπτόσωμα, thin body, which in turn refers to the slim walking legs of the comprised representatives, and the suffix -arma, derived from the last part of the genus Sesarma (in turn derived from the Greek σαιρω, the act of gaping; Say, 1817). The genus is gender neuter.

Family Sesarmidae (Dana, 1851) – Mangrovenkrabben / Mangrove Crabs

Type species: Sesarma moeschii De Man, 1892, by present designation. Gender neuter. Etymology:…Etymology. The name is derived by combining the name of the carcinologist Johannes Govertus de Man (1850–1930) with the genus name Sesarma. This honours the substantial contributions he has made to our knowledge of sesarmid diversity in the Indo-West Pacific. The gender is neuter.

Included species:
Sesarma moeschii De Man, 1892
Sesarma johorensis Tweedie, 1940.
