In the present paper is described a new crab referred to the genus Globopilumnus, the representatives of which are close to the species of the Pilumnidae in their general formation of the carapace, chelipeds and ambulatory legs. Several genera including the genus in question are characteristic in having the whip-like long male second pleopods and have been considered to represent a natural group as one of the subfamilies of the Xanthidae since the excellent papers of BALSS (1932,1933). The current studies may appoint it to the familial rank as the Menippidae, although the discussion on this problem is not always fully matured. The new species is the sixth in Globopilumnus and readily distinguished from the known five species by its characteristic tomentum with a more or less labyrinth appearance. The type-specimens of the new species are preserved in the National Science Museum, Tokyo (NSMT) and the Seto Marine Biological Laboratory, Kyoto University (SMBL).
