چکیده
– Two new species of freshwater crabs in the genus Parathelphusa H. Milne Edwards, 1853, are described from Palawan Island in the Philippines. The new species are each easily distinguished from their closest congeners by characters of the male first pleopod, in conjunction with a unique combination of other morphological characters. A key to the Parathelphusa species of the Philippines is provided.

Specimens of the gecarcinid land crab Discoplax longipes A.
