Pinnotheres malaguena Garth, 1948, a new member of the genus Fabia Dana, 1851 (Crustacea : Brachyura : Pinnotheridae)

Proceedings of the Biological Society of Washington, 111(4):912-915.

The original description and figures of the male holotype of the pinnotherid crab Pinnotheres malaguena Garth are emended. The morphology of this species excludes it from Pinnotheres Bose, 1802 but supports its transfer to the genus Fabia Dana, 1851. Fabia malaguena can be distinguished from other members of Fabia by its unique gonopod shape and its abdomen, which has somites 5 to the telson fused.
