Abstrak

<p>There are 52 species of freshwater crabs in Sri Lanka and 51 of them are endemic. There are several species that are known only from a single locality. <em>Ceylonthelphusa armata</em> is such a species, and we have initiated a study to record the distribution of this species as its typical locality is heavily polluted at Kadugannawa. At present <em>C. armata</em> is known from six localities, and this information will be useful to facilitate the conservation of the species by assessing the Red List. </p><div> </div>
