A New Species Of Ilyoplax (Decapoda, Brachyura, Dotillidae) From Panglao, The Philippines

A new species of Ilyoplax, I. danielae, is described from the Philippines. It differs from its closest congeners, I. stapletoni (De Man, 1908), I. ningpoensis Shen, 1940, and I. formosensis Rathbun, 1921, by differences in carapace shape and proportions, shape and dentition of the chela and the morphologies of the walking legs and male first gonopods.
