Sesarma

Sesarma is a genus of terrestrial crabs endemic to the Americas. Many species within this genus live in mangroves. They have evolved to be fully terrestrial, which means they do not have to return to the sea even to spawn. Several species initially placed here are now placed in other genera of the Sesarmidae, and in some cases even elsewhere in the Grapsoidea. Sesarma contains the following extant species:

[ "Decapoda", "Sesarma reticulatum", "Sesarma curacaoense", "Metasesarma", "Neosarmatium meinerti", "Chiromantes" ]
