Diagnosis.
Biserial phyllobranchiae. Shield (12 a) longer than broad, rostrum broadly triangular, same length as lateral projections, with acute apex. Ocular peduncles inflated proximally, weakly inflated distally, shorter than shield, longer than antennular and antennal peduncles. Ocular acicles elongate, with two large spines distally. Subquadrate calcified interocular lobe with 3–5 rounded or subacute spinules anteriorly. Antennal flagella shorter than carapace.
Chelipeds (
Fig. 12
b, c) subequal, right slightly larger than left, dorsal and mesial surfaces of dactyl with closelyspaced strong pointed tubercles; dactyl and fixed finger with distinct hiatus. Sparse setae on chelipeds. Pereopods (
Fig. 12
d–f) similar from left to right. Dactyls of second and third pereopods 1.5 length of propodi; carpi of second pereopods each with 6 dorsal spines; carpi of third pereopods each with single dorsodistal spine. Fourth pereopod (
12 g
) without preungual process.

n. comb.
, male 2.5 mm (ZMA): a, shield and cephalic appendages, setae omitted; b, c, left cheliped, setae omitted; d, e, left second pereopod, setae omitted; f, left third pereopod, setae omitted; g, left fourth pereopod, setae omitted: h, i, right first pleopod; j, telson; b, d, mesial view; c, dorsal view; e, f, g, lateral view; h, external view, i, internal view. Scales equal 1 mm.
Male first pleopod reduced (
Fig. 12
h, i), male second pleopod absent, unpaired left pleopods 3 to 5 uniramous. Female with single left gonopore, brood pouch large. Telson (
Fig. 12
j) subquadrate, left and right lobes about the same length, each armed with 4–6 spines, some corneoustipped.
Type
locality.
Off Manila,
Philippines
.
Habitat.
Reported from blue mud (
Henderson 1888
). The material in this study was collected from mud and coral.
Distribution.
Oman
,
Maldives
; Red and Arabian Seas,
Malaysia
,
Philippines
, and Lombok Island and Macassar in
Indonesia
.
Remarks.
McLaughlin & Clark (1997)
redescribed the
holotype
of this species as
Paguristes hians
. They did not confirm the number of gills. The specimens in this collection agree well with the redescription, and examination of gills revealed that the species possesses eight pairs of biserial phyllobranchiae.
Paguristes hians
is thus transferred to
Pseudopaguristes
.
Pseudopaguristes hians
n. comb.
shares one character in particular with
P. gracilis
: the lobe between ocular acicles is calcified and armed with several subacute or blunt spinules anteriorly.
