| Abstract: | There is a dearth of information on any aspect of the biology of crabs of the family Leucosiidae. Knowledge of the sexual behaviour of members of this family is limited to the description of the courtship and mating behaviour of Philyra scabriuscula (Fabricius) by Naidu (1954) and a brief mention of the court- ship behaviour of Philyra laevis (Bell) by Hale ( 1926). During the course of studies on the general biology of Ebalia tuberosa (Pen- nant, 1777), courtship and mating behaviour were observed in individuals kept in aquaria in the laboratory and are described in this paper. |
