Coleusia
Sign in to saveColeusia is a genus of Indo-Pacific pebble crabs of the family Leucosiidae. The six species currently recognised were formerly classed within the genus Leucosia. They were separated into Coleusia in 2006 based on the fusion of segments 3-5 on the abdomens of the males and the three times axial coiling of the shaft of the first pleopod, which bears a tufted lobe on its distal portion and an elongated apical process.
