Some years ago Dr. Takashi OKUTANI of Tokai Regional Fisheries Research Laboratory kindly provided the National Science Museum, Tokyo, with a large collection of crabs from the submarine banks along the Izu Islands in Central Japan. The collection is composed of many interesting species, some of which are considered to be new to science or newly recorded from Japanese waters. In due time the records of all the species will be published by the senior author, but in this short paper the description of a new species of Calocarcinus is preliminarily presented as a part of the authors' extensive discussion on trapeziid crabs. The new species is the third in the genus which is represented by C. africanus CALMAN, 1909 and C. habei TAKEDA, 1980. The type-specimen of the new speices, the holotype female, is preserved in the National Science Museum, Tokyo (NSMT). The senior author wishes to thank Dr. T. OKUTANI who is now the leading staff of the Department of Zoology in the National Science Museum, Tokyo, for his kindness of placing the valuable specimens in the senior author's hand for study. The junior atuhor's cordial thanks are due to Prof. Ch. LEWINSOHN of Tel-Aviv University for his continuous guidance and encouragement, to whom the new species is dedicated.
