| Abstract | |
Anomuran crabs of the genus Aegla Leach, 1821 are endemic to temperate and subtropical regions of South America and are commonly found in streams and rivers, where they are generally restricted to healthy environments because they are sensitive to environmental changes. The genus presents worrying data regarding its conservation, like the many Brazilian freshwater species classified as being at some level of threat of extinction. We inventoried unexplored watersheds, estimated the population density of Aegla jacutinga Mar & ccedil;al & Teixeira, 2020 in its type locality, updated information on the distribution of the species, and assessed its conservation status using IUCN criteria.
