Abstract
Kingsleya castrensis sp. nov., a pseudothelphusid crab is described and illustrated from the Xingu River, state of Para, southern Amazon region, Brazil. The new species is characterized by the male first gonopod bearing a large, well-developed apical plate, with a broadly rounded, thick distal lobe. New records of Kingsleya junki Magalhaes, 2003 extend the distribution of this species eastward to the Tocantins River basin, in the state of Para, Brazil. (AU)
