- Abstract
Eight porcellanid species are reported from Christmas Island and the Cocos (Keeling) Islands in the southeastern Indian Ocean, based on specimens collected by three expeditions to the islands from 2010 to 2012. Of them, five species are new local records: Petrolisthes asiaticus (Leach, 1820), P. bispinosus Borradaile, 1900, P. fimbriatus Borradaile, 1898, P. pubescens Stimpson, 1858, and P. scabriculus (Dana, 1852). Petrolisthes bispinosus and P. fimbriatus are reported for the first time from the Indian Ocean.
