All the examined material was collected between 1982 and 1987 from the mangroves and the littoral zone around Inhaca Island, Mozambique, Africa. A total of 1162 specimens are identified. The specimens belong to 90 different species of crabs from 26 families. Five new records of crab species for Mozambican waters are found: <em>Hiplyra elegans</em> (Gravier, 1920), <em>Hiplyra variegata</em> (Rüppell, 1830), <em>Pseudomicippe tenuipes</em> A. Milne-Edwards, 1865, <em>Medaeops neglectus</em> (Balss, 1922) and <em>Chaenostoma crassimanus</em> Stimpson, 1858.</span></span></span></p> <p> </p> MAX WILLEMS, CHARLES H.J.M.
