Abstract

We present the most recent inventory of fiddler crabs for the Gulf of Parita, covering both ecological and tourist sites of interest. Six sites in the gulf were sampled, where 22 species were identified. The most represented genus was Leptuca with 12 species. The inventory includes the new report of Leptuca tallanica, increasing the total number of fiddler crab species in the Panamanian Pacific to 32 and to 39 for the country.
