Info

Eplumula phalangium (De Haan, 1839)

The crab's appearance is more reminiscent of a spider and less of a crab. At first glance it resembles arrow crabs of the genus Stenorhynchus, but is not related to them. The size of max. 1.2 cm refers to the extremely small body. With its long legs, this crab reaches significantly larger dimensions.

Eplumula phalangium exhibits marked sexual dimorphism in the size and shape of the carapace's teeth and spines. The males have a significantly wider shell and stronger claws than the females.

The genus Eplumula currently only contains 2 described species:
Eplumula australiensis (Henderson, 1888)
Eplumula phalangium (De Haan, 1839)
