Fabia felderi, a new species of pinnotherid crab collected from oculinid coral rubble in 80 m of water off the central eastern Florida coast, is described and illustrated from the unique holotypic male. The crab shows morphological similarities to some Pin· notheres species, as well as to two eastern Pacific species in the genus Fabia. All share a more or less subcircular carapace, a produced frontal region rimmed with a heavy fringe of hair, well developed setae along all pereopodal borders, and a generally similar positioning of the palp on the merus of maxilliped 3. A single male speciman of a small pinnotherid crab was collected from Oculina coral rubble in 80 m of water during a series of diving operations off Sebastian Inlet on the central eastern Florida coast in April,\.1981, by the Research Submersible SEA LINK I. Examination showed that the specimen was closely related to a number of species, including Pinnotheres depressus Say, 1817, and P. barbatus Desbonne, 1867 from the western Atlantic, Pinnotheres malaguena Garth, 1948 from Malaga Bay on the Pacific coast of Colombia, as well as to at least two eastern Pacific species in the genus Fabia, F. subquadrata Dana, 1851 and F. concharum (Rathbun, 1893). The Floridian specimen, however, could be distinguished from all of these on the basis of features of the carapace, outer maxillipeds, pereopods, abdomen and gonepods. Description of the new species, herein provisionally assigned to the genus Fabia (see discussion below) was held in abeyance in the hope that a female specimen, or other material might become available. Such has not been the case and so the species is described and illustrated on the basis of the single 143 holotypic specimen. It is compared to other close1y related species in the genus Fabia and to those species putatively assigned to the genus Pinnotheres to which it exhibits morphological similarities.
