Shahdadi, Adnan, Ng, Peter K. L. & Schubart, Christoph D., 2018, Morphological and phylogenetic evidence for a new species of Parasesarma De Man, 1895 (Crustacea: Decapoda: Brachyura: Sesarmidae) from the Malay Peninsula, previously referred to as Parasesarma indiarum (Tweedie, 1940), Raffles Bulletin of Zoology 66, pp. 739-762 : 747

Genus Parasesarma De Man, 1895 , sensu Shahdadi & Schubart, 2017

Type species. Cancer quadratus Fabricius, 1798 , subsequent designation by Rathbun (1918).

Remarks. Here we focus on the description of the new species and update the taxonomic accounts of P. indiarum and P. eumolpe . The taxonomy and morphologies of the three related species, P. indiarum , P. foresti , and P. messa , as well as their phylogeography is currently being investigated by us and will be treated at length in a separate study.
