Abstract:
A new species of cave-obligate freshwater crab of the genus Sundathelphusa Bott, 1969 (Gecarcinucidae) from Agusan
del Sur, Philippines is described. The new species is morphologically close to S. hades Takeda and Ng, 2001 but
distinctly differs in the shape of carapace and gonopods. Although the new species is found close to the type locality of
S. hades, the morphological features are distinct and their habitats are separated by an extension of the Philippine faultline
and Oligocene-Miocene volcanic deposits. Six Sundathelphusa species having true troglobiomorphic characters
are now recorded from caves in the Philippine archipelago.
