Epilobocera sinuatifrons [3] is a freshwater crab[4] of the family Epiloboceridae.[2] The species is widely distributed in streams of Puerto Rico and occurs also on Saint Croix (the U.S. Virgin Islands).[1][5][6]
Epilobocera sinuatifrons is one of the most abundant predatory freshwater decapods in the freshwater streams of Puerto Rico.[7] The juveniles are aquatic while the adults feed also on terrestrial resources on the forest floor adjacent to streams.[6]
