    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.
