Abstract

The present study deals with two new records of crabs collected from the Egyptian Mediterranean Sea during the period from September 2000 to January 2016: Albunea carabus (Linnaeus, 1758) and Lissa chiragra (Fabricius, 1775). These crab species affiliate to 2 genera of 2 families, under the two Decapoda infra-orders Anomura and Brachyura. A short re-description and remarks on distributions of the recorded species are provided.
