Diagnosis. – Body robust, pigmented, eyes well developed;

rostrum not strongly compressed laterally, without lateral lobes, median dorsal carina without spines, ventral keel with 7–16, usually 10–14 teeth. Anterior margin of carapace armed with strong antennal and pterygostomian spines, latter never reduced to angle; supraorbital spine absent; ventral margin of second to fifth abdominal pleura without sclerotized spinules; telson with posterolateral angle reaching beyond setiferous posterior margin; third maxilliped not ending in a spine; pereiopods without exopods; first and second pereiopods with chelae monomorphic, without palm, little if at all longer than wide; fingers tipped with brushes of long setae apparently adapted for filter feeding, carpus of both appendages deeply excavated anteriorly, much shorter than broad, shorter than fingers; third pereiopod with a prominent meral spur in large males; branchial formula complete, with 9 pairs of gills, without mastigobranchs; epipods present on first 4 pereiopods, reduced posteriorly; endopod of first pereiopod of male rigid, rhomboidally ovate; submarginally spinose, less than 1.5 times as long from proximal articulation to base of reticulation projection as maximum width, not including margin spines; second pleopod of male with appendix masculina cylindrical, spinose over entire length distal to base of appendix interna.

Habitat. – At coastal or insular freshwater habitats, with fast flowing hill and mountain streams, and similar riparian systems, living on rocks or among submerged roots.

Remarks. – In Malaysia, the species was first recorded by Lanchester (1901) from the Selama River in northwest Perak and Belimbing under the name of Atya armata . Johnson reported it under the name Atya spinipes from Kuala Kenyam Kechil, Pahang, Tahan River, near Kuala Tahan and a tributary of Jahor River, near Kota Tinggi, Johor. The specimens that we examined indicate that Atyopsis moluccensis is restricted to the Greater Sunda Islands (including Phuket at southern Thailand). Chace (1983: 33) stated that he had “seen specimens of A. moluccensis only from Thailand and Java.” Other distribution sites that he listed, viz. Sumatra, Bali, Sulawesi, Moluccas, Philippines, Andaman and Sri Lanka, were based only on literature. According to the present study, there is only A. spinipes distributed there.

Distribution. – With certainty only distributed in the Greater Sunda Islands (present study).
