Poblacion, Tagoloan town, Misamis Oriental prov., coll. N. J Lagare, 24-25 Sep. 2016. <b>Remarks.</b> This species was described as <i>Sesarma</i> (<i>Parasesarma</i>) <i>moluccensis jamelensis</i> by Rathbun (1914) based on a few specimens collected from Point Jamelo (= Hamilo Point), Batangas Province, Luzon Island. Estampador (1937, 1959) subsequently reported this species from Taytay, Palawan Island, further to the southwest. The types remained un-illustrated until Rahayu &amp; Li (2013) provided photographs and line drawings of the male holotype deposited in the Natural Museum of Natural History, Washington, D.C. (USNM). The last author (JCEM) has also examined the types at the USNM (catalog no. USNM 45917). The present male specimen from Tagoloan River resembles the holotype in the general shape of the carapace, pleon, and the leg proportions, as well as in having 10 tubercles on the dorsal surface of the chelar dactylus. It differs from the holotype, however, in having 9 and 15 teeth on the proximal and distal pectinated crests, respectively, (<i>versus</i> 10–11 and 16–18, respectively, in the holotype viz. Rahayu &amp; Li (2013)), and in having a relatively longer chitinous distal tip on the G1 (Figs. 6G, H). Shahdadi <i>et al</i>. (2020) recently revised the genus <i>Parasesarma</i>, wherein their molecular analyses revealed a distinct clade, which they called the <i>Parasesarma leptosoma</i> species-group (17 species including <i>P. jamelense</i>).

Manyayay, Lianga town, Surigao del Sur prov., coll. N.J. Lagare, 3 Mar. 2019. <b>Remarks.</b> Recent systematic revisions of <i>Discoplax hirtipes</i> (Dana, 1851) (type locality: Viti) have limited the distributional range of this species to the western and central Pacific, with other populations in the Indian Ocean being recognized as two separate species, <i>D. celeste</i> and <i>D. magna</i> (Ng &amp; Davie 2012; Ng &amp; Shih 2014). Even more recently, Guinot <i>et al</i>. (2018), had established a new genus <i>Tuerkayana</i> (type species: <i>Thelphusa rotunda</i> Quoy &amp; Gaimard, 1824), and included these three aforementioned species in that genus. In the Philippines, <i>Tuerkayana hirtipes</i> has been recorded by Estampador (1937, 1959) (no specific locality), Türkay (1974) (Dinagat I.), and by Ng &amp; Guinot (2001) and Ng &amp; Shih (2014) (Bohol I.). Anecdotal evidence also indicates that this species is more widespread than presented in the literature, and is used as food in many rural areas in the Philippines (JCEM pers. obs.). The present specimen was found on a limestone hill/outcrop amidst a coastal mangrove.

Neri, 5 Sep. 2017. <b>Remarks.</b> <i>Cardisoma carnifex</i> (Herbst, 1796) (type locality: Tranquebar, India) is a widespread species in the Indo-West Pacific region, occurring from the eastern coast of Africa to the central Pacific islands such as the Tuamotu Archipelago (Türkay 1974). In the Philippines, it has been reported from Manila (Luzon I.), and the islands of Cebu, Negros, Palawan, Balabac, and Dinagat (NE of Mindanao) (de Elera 1895; Estampador 1937, 1959; Türkay 1974), although anecdotal evidence suggests it is also found throughout the Philippines wherever there is suitable habitat (JCEM pers. obs.). This species has also been recorded by Motoh &amp; Kuronuma (1980) as being exploited for food in rural areas of the Philippines.

Mapi-ot, 2018. <b>Remarks.</b> <i>Ptychognathus riedelii</i> (A.

(Holthuis 1978; Cai &amp; Ng 2001). In the Philippines, <i>P. riedelii</i> has been reported from the Davao Gulf by Ward (1941). The present specimens agree well with the description and illustrations provided by Cai &amp; Ng (2001: 686, fig. 16), and this species is now known to be locally common in northern and southern Mindanao as well (see Table 1). The specimens were collected in small freshwater rivers &amp; streams at depths of less than 1 m, among stones and pebbles in the substrate.

(2004) from the Anambas Islands in the southern portion of the South China Sea. It has also been recorded from Hainan, China (Li <i>et al.</i> 2019). The present specimen from Lianga, an adult male, agrees well with the holotype of <i>P. anambas</i> in the form of the carapace and G1 (cf. Yeo <i>et al</i>. 2004: figs. 2a, f), as well as in these particular morphological characters: 1) having long and slender ambulatory propodi and dactyli (cf. Yeo <i>et al</i>. 2004: fig. 2d); 2) having 17 oblong tubercles, each surmounted by a weak longitudinal crest, on the chelar dactylus (cf. Yeo <i>et al</i>. 2004: fig. 2b); and 3) having 3 pectinated crests on the upper surface of the cheliped palm (cf. Yeo <i>et al</i>. 2004: fig. 2b). Direct comparison with a similar-sized paratype male specimen (ZRC 2003.0726) of <i>P. anambas</i>, also confirmed this. The Lianga specimen was collected from a limestone outcrop surrounded by coastal mangrove, and comprises only the second record of this species outside the type locality. New Philippine record.

Badtasan, Kiamba town, Saranggani prov, coll. Z.S. Molina, 13 Jan. 2018. <b>Remarks.</b> Henri Milne Edwards (1853) described <i>Sesarma ungulata</i> from Celebes (= Sulawesi), providing a very short description. Long synonymized under <i>Sesarma quadrata</i> (Fabricius, 1798) (= <i>Parasesarma plicatum</i> (Latreille, 1803)), <i>S. ungulata</i> was recognized by Rahayu &amp; Ng (2010) as a distinct species of <i>Parasesarma</i> in their revision of the <i>Parasesarma plicatum</i> species complex. They selected a dried male specimen (MNHN BP 3694) deposited in the Museum national d'Histoire naturelle, Paris, to be the lectotype, thus stabilizing the taxonomy of the species. Other authors (Rahayu &amp; Ng 2010; Maenosono &amp; Naruse 2015; Li <i>et</i> al. 2019) have also recorded specimens from several other localities (viz. Papua &amp; Lombok, in Indonesia; Peninsular &amp; Eastern Malaysia; Singapore; Gulf of Thailand; Hainan &amp; Hong Kong, China; Ryukyu Is., Japan; and Taiwan). The only record of this species from the Philippines is De Man's (1887), where, in his treatment of <i>Sesarma quadrata</i>, he regarded <i>S. ungulata</i> as a junior synonym, stating "…die Varietät <i>ungulata</i> mit acht Querwülsten bewohnt die Philippinen und die Küsten von Celebes" (De Man 1887: 655). Estampador (1937, 1959) subsequently cited De Man's record in his checklists but did not mention any specific locality. De Elera (1895) recorded " <i>Sesarma quadrata</i> " from Manila, Luzon I., which we consider to be most probably a misidentification of <i>P. ungulatum</i>. The present male specimen from Kiamba generally agrees with the description and figures of Rahayu &amp; Ng (2010: 11, figs. 8–10), primarily in the [...]

Badtasan, Kiamba town, Saranggani prov, coll. Z.S. Molina, 13 Jan. 2018. <b>Remarks.</b> Henri Milne Edwards (1853) described <i>Sesarma ungulata</i> from Celebes (= Sulawesi), providing a very short description. Long synonymized under <i>Sesarma quadrata</i> (Fabricius, 1798) (= <i>Parasesarma plicatum</i> (Latreille, 1803)), <i>S. ungulata</i> was recognized by Rahayu &amp; Ng (2010) as a distinct species of <i>Parasesarma</i> in their revision of the <i>Parasesarma plicatum</i> species complex. They selected a dried male specimen (MNHN BP 3694) deposited in the Museum national d'Histoire naturelle, Paris, to be the lectotype, thus stabilizing the taxonomy of the species. Other authors (Rahayu &amp; Ng 2010; Maenosono &amp; Naruse 2015; Li <i>et</i> al. 2019) have also recorded specimens from several other localities (viz. Papua &amp; Lombok, in Indonesia; Peninsular &amp; Eastern Malaysia; Singapore; Gulf of Thailand; Hainan &amp; Hong Kong, China; Ryukyu Is., Japan; and Taiwan). The only record of this species from the Philippines is De Man's (1887), where, in his treatment of <i>Sesarma quadrata</i>, he regarded <i>S. ungulata</i> as a junior synonym, stating "…die Varietät <i>ungulata</i> mit acht Querwülsten bewohnt die Philippinen und die Küsten von Celebes" (De Man 1887: 655). Estampador (1937, 1959) subsequently cited De Man's record in his checklists but did not mention any specific locality. De Elera (1895) recorded " <i>Sesarma quadrata</i> " from Manila, Luzon I., which we consider to be most probably a misidentification of <i>P. ungulatum</i>. The present male specimen from Kiamba generally agrees with the description and figures of Rahayu &amp; Ng (2010: 11, figs. 8–10), primarily in the [...]
