Abstract
A new species of pilumnid crab, Actumnus taiwanensis, is described from sou thern Taiwan. The species is allied to A. setifer (De Haan, 1835) and A. di gitalis (Rathbun, 1907), but can easily be distinguished by its flattened d orsal carapace surface, low frontal and anterolateral margins, characterist ic form of the chela and diagnostic structure of the male first pleopod.
