42 National Taiwan Museum Special Publication Series, No. 11, 86 pp., April 2001 1991; Wu, 1992; Huang, 1994; Hsueh, 1996; Jeng, Jan, Tzeng, Feng and Yang, 1996; Wang and Liu, 1996b; Ho and Hung, 1997; Jeng, 1997; Jeng, Jan, Tzeng and Feng, 1997; Jeng, Shao, Tzeng, Feng and Wu, 1998 [Ng and Liu (1998) has suggested that the genus Chiromantes be restricted to the type species, C. haematocheir, and the other species, including C. dehaani, should be referred to other genera. Studies by P. K, L, Ng and C. D. Schubart are now ongoing to revise the genus Chiromantes. ] Clistocoeloma sinense Shen, 1933 ( = Cleistocoeloma merguiense aut. ) — Sakai, 1939; Dai, Yang, Song and Chen, 1986; Fukui, Wada and Wang, 1989; Dai and Yang, 1991; Hsueh, 1995; Hsueh, 1996; Hsueh and Huang, 1996a Episesarma lafondU (Jacquinot, in Hombron and Jacquinot, 1843) ( = Episesarma mederi aut. ) — Ng, 1998 [Ng (1998), who examined a female specimen collected by H. -C. Liu from southern Taiwan identified it as Episesarma mederi (H. Milne Edwards, 1854). The first author recently examined specimens of E. lafondU from Japan and the Taiwanese specimen should be referred to E. lafondU instead] Labuanium rotundatum (Hess, 1865)—Sakai, 1939, 1940, 1976; Dai, Yang, Song and Chen, ^ 1986; Dai and Yang, 1991; Huang, 1994; Liu, 1999 [This interesting species was originally re- ^ ^ ported from Tanshui in northern Taiwan by Sakai (1939 ) but we have been unable to find the species there, probably because the area has been extensively developed over the last 50 years. In wiifW stead, we have since found this very agile species in southern Taiwan, in Kenting, living in tree-holes filled with water (phytotelms). They spend almost all their time on trees, and have been observed several metres from the ground. Females come to the ground more frequently on their way to spawn in the sea which may be some distance away. Adult specimens are coffee-brown to dirty yellow with younger specimens more mottled. ] Metasesarma aubryi A. Milne Edwards, 1869 — Maki and Tsuchiya, 1923; Sakai, 1939, 1940, 1976; Dai, Yang, Song and Chen, 1986; Dai and Yang, 1991; Huang, 1994; Liu, 1999 Metasesarma rousseauxi H. Milne Edwards, 1853 ( = Measesarma granulans Heller, 1862 ) — Balss, 1922c; Liu, 1999 [This supralittoral species (see Ng and Davie, 1995) has surprisingly not been reported from Taiwan since Balss, but there are a good number of specimens in the TMCD and ZRC from the islands of Lanyu and Lutao as well as Kenting National Park] Nanosesarma gordoni (Shen, 1935)—Fukui, Wada and Wang, 1989; Yu, Jeng, Chan, Ho and Shy, 1996; Jeng, 1997 [This species may well be a junior synonym of N. minutum (De Man, 1887) as has been suggested (P. J. F. Davie, personal communication) but until both taxa are formally synonymised, we prefer to keep them species separate for the time being. ] Nanosesarma minutum (De Man, 1887) — Hsueh, 1996; Lai, Huang and Fang, 1997 Neosarmatium fourmanoiri Serene, 1973 — Ng, Liu and Wang, 1997 Neosarmatium indicum (A. Milne Edwards, 1868)-Ng, Liu and Wang, 1997 Neosarmatium meinerti (De Man, 1887)—Horikawa, 1940; Sakai, 1941; Lin, 1949; Dai, Yang, Song and Chen, 1986; Dai and Yang, 1991; Davie, 1994; Ng, Liu and Wang, 1997 Neosarmatiumpunctatum (A. Milne Edwards, 1873) — Ng, Liu and Wang, 1997 Neosarmatium rotundifrons (A. Milne Edwards, 1869) — Ng, Liu and Wang, 1997 Parasesarma acis Davie, 1993 ( = Sesarma erythrodactylum aut. ) — Suzuki, 1985; Fukui, Wada r-^ and Wang, 1989 [This species is almost certainly synonymous with Parasesarma tripectinis K'"5f«c
