- Abstract
Six species of vampire crabs, Geosesarma noduliferum (De Man, 1892), G. confertum (Ortmann, 1894), G. rouxi (Serène, 1968a), G. bicolor Ng & Davie, 1995, G. dennerle Ng, Schubart & Lukhaup, 2015, and G. hagen Ng, Schubart & Lukhaup, 2015, are known thus far from Java, Indonesia. All are endemic to the island. Surveys in and around Mount Halimun Salak National Park in West Java showed that the sesarmid crab fauna for the island is much richer, and five new species are described. The new taxa are described, figured, and compared with their closest congeners. Two poorly known species, G. confertum and G. rouxi are also re-diagnosed and figured. A key to the known species of Geosesarma from Java is also provided.
