Abstract
The porcelain crab, Pseudoporcellanella manoliensis Sankarankutty, 1961 was collected in East Lampung, Indonesia, and the species is recorded from Indonesian waters for the first time. Pseudoporcellanella manoliensis was previously known from India, Malaysia, Singapore, Cambodia, and the South China Sea. The present specimens were caught by a fisherman as by-catch of the blue swimming crab (Portunus pelagicus) in April and June 2017. Pseudoporcellanella manoliensis was found clinging to a sea pen (Scytalium sp.) taken along the net. Three males and three ovigerous females each carrying approximately 600 eggs were found. The occurrence of the species in Indonesia enhances the marine crustacean diversity list of tropical Indo-West Pacific waters.
