Шаблон:Short description Шаблон:Automatic Taxobox

Geosesarma is genus of small freshwater or terrestrial crabs, typically less than Шаблон:Convert across the carapace.[1] They live and reproduce on land with the larval stages inside the egg. They are found from India,[2] through Southeast Asia, to the Solomon Islands and Hawaii.[1]

In the pet trade, they are sometimes called vampire crabs. This has nothing to do with their feeding habits, but rather with the bright, contrastingly yellow eyes of some Geosesarma species.[3]

As of March 2015, professor Peter Ng of National University of Singapore has named 20 Geosesarma species, and he "has another half a dozen or so newly collected Geosesarma species from Southeast Asia in his lab, and these species still need to be named and described."[3][5]

Threats

Geosesarma dennerle and Geosesarma hagen, both originally from Java, are threatened by illegal overcollection for the aquarium trade.[6]
