    ABSTRACT
    A new record of freshwater prawn of the genus Macrobrachium Bate, 1868 (Crustacea Palaemonidae) was founded in West Kalimantan, Sintang District, Kelam Permai Subdistrict, Indonesia. One ovigerous female specimen was collected in Lebak creeks, Ransi Pendek village on July 2015. Macrobrachium gua (Chong, 1989) from Sintang can be distinguished from others by morphological character, including egg size, teeth of ventral margin, length of carpus, length of merus, length of finger and palm as a chela part. Macrobrachium gua was found under rocks in a surface river with black-tea-colour waters and dense vegetation.

    The mole crab Hippa marmorata (Hombron et Jacquinot, 1846) (Crustacea Anomura Hippidae): a first record from Indonesian waters

    ABSTRACT
    Specimens of Hippa marmorata (Hombron et Jacquinot, 1846) (Crustacea Anomura Hippidae) were collected from several coastlines of Indonesia (Sulawesi, Lombok, Tual Island, and West Papua). The specimens represent the first record of this species in Indonesia and confirm its presence in the Wallacea Line region and to its eastern fringes. Its systematic and morphological characteristics (i.e., anterior median lobe of carapace having two lobes and left antenna having two to three articles) are described. This finding provides new information on the geographical distribution of the species in Indonesian waters.
