Troglocarcinus heimi and T. stimpsoni described by FIZE & SERENE (1955a, b) are peculiar in having the deeply excavated anterior half of the carapace. Several specimens from the Ryukyu Islands were identified with T. heimi and a new species close to it. After careful consideration of their relationship to the representatives of Troglocarcinus and the related genera, we came to a conclusion that the three species in question are not congeneric with the type-species of Troglocarcinus, T. corallicola VERRILL from the Bermudas, Straits of Florida and West Indies. Thus, in the following lines a new genus is established to accomodate the three Indo-West Pacific species. Before going further we must express our cordial thanks to Dr. Robert H. GORE of the Smithsonian Institution, Ft. Pierce Bureau, who kindly provided us with the elaborate sketches of T. corallicola. The junior author's cordial thanks are due to Dr. Ryosuke ISHIKAWA of Tokyo Metropolitan University for giving him the opportunity to make this study. The new species described in this paper is dedicated to and named after him.
