Abstract
On the basis of fresh collections from various parts of the western Pacifi c, three species of majoid crabs previously considered as rare are redescribed and fi gured: Oxypleurodon bidens (Sakai, 1969), O. auritum (Rathbun, 1916) and O. coralliophilum (Takeda, 1980). Four new species are described: O. boholense from the Philippines, O. barazeri and O. parallelum from the Solomon Islands, and O. alaini from New Caledonia. A new genus and new species, Stegopleurodon planirostrum, is described from New Caledonia and Vanuatu. The two species currently assigned to the allied American genus Sphenocarcinus A. Milne-Edwards, 1875, are re-examined, and a new genus, Rhinocarcinus, is established for the Pacifi c species Sphenocarcinus agassizi Rathbun, 1893.
