Figs. 4A , 7 E–H

Parasesarma sanguimanus, Shahdadi et al. 2020: 29 , tab. 1.

Material examined. 2 males, 20.2 by 16.8 mm, 17.1 by 14.9 mm, 2 females, 16.2 by 13.8 mm, 14.0 by 11.8 mm (ZRC; ZSM181401–04 ), Brgy. Badtasan, Kiamba town , Saranggani prov., coll. Z.S. Molina, 13 Jan. 2018.

Remarks. Parasesarma sanguimanus was described from southern Taiwan (Hengchun, Pingtung County), from estuarine habitats in the Baoli and Gankou rivers. The present material from Kiamba ( Figs. 4A , 7 E–H) agrees well with the original description and illustrations of Li et al. (2019: figs. 1C, D, 7A, B, E, F, I–K, 8A–D, 11B). The specimens were dug out during the day from mud burrows in a rice paddy field, approximately 1 km from the coast and adjacent to a small river. This species has been recorded from the Philippines (Bohol) previously by Shahdadi et al. (2020).

New Mindanao record.
