Abstract

The identity of a dotillid intertidal crab from exposed sandy beaches within the Laem Son National Park along the Andaman Coast in Thailand was investigated. The species was identified as Dotilla intermedia De Man, 1888, which represents the first record of this species from Thailand. A description of the species is provided and a lectotype is designated from the type series.
