Abstract
A new genus and species of freshwater crab, Melothelphusa apiaka n. gen., n. sp., from Mato Grosso, Central Brazil is described and illustrated. Brasiliothelphusa dardanelosensis Magalhaes \& Turkay, 2010, is assigned to the new genus Melothelphusa. Therefore, the genus Brasiliothelphusa Magalhaes \& Turkay, 1986, is restricted to its type species B. tapajoense Magalhaes \& Turkay, 1986. The new taxa can be easily separated from their close relatives by a suite of morphological characters from the first gonopod. (AU)
