Calappa Japonica Ortmann, 1892, a New Record for Western Australia (Decapoda, Brachyura, Oxystomata) CALAPPA JAPONICA ORTMANN, 1892, A NEW RECORD FOR WESTERN AUSTRALIA (DECAPODA, BRACHYURA, OXYSTOMATA) BY DIANA S. JONES Department of Crustacea, Western Australian Museum, Francis Street, Perth, Western Australia 6000, Australia RÉSUMÉ Le crabe oxystome Calappa japonica Ortmann, 1892, est signalé pour la première fois d'Australie occidentale. Ce n'est que le troisième spécimen signalé d'Australie, les deux précédents l'ayant été du sud-est du Queensland (Campbell, 1971). Le premier pléopode mâle et d'autres caractères diagnostiques sont brèvement décrits et figurés. INTRODUCTION The family Calappidae is represented by two genera in Western Australia, namely Calappa and Matuta. Six species of Calappa have been recorded from the waters of Western Australia - C. calappa (L., 1758), C. depressa Miers, 1886, C. hepatica (L., 1758), C. lophos (Herbst, 1785), C. philargius (L., 1758) and C. terraereginae Ward, 1936 (Tyndale-Biscoe & George, 1962). Recently the Western Australian Museum obtained a specimen which, on examination, proved to be Calappa japonica, a species not previously recorded from Western Australia, thus bringing the total number of known Calappa species to seven. Only two other specimens of C. japonica are known from museum collections in Australia. Both specimens were taken off Cape Moreton, southern Queensland, and are housed http://www.deepdyve.com/assets/images/DeepDyve-Logo-lg.png Crustaceana Brill
