''Calappa'' is a genus of crabs known commonly as box crabs or shame-faced crabs. The name ''box crab'' comes from their distinctly bulky carapace, and the name ''shame-faced'' is from anthropomorphising the way the crab's chelae (claws) fold up and cover its face, as if it were hiding its face in shame. ==Species== There are 43 extant species in the genus: *''Calappa acutispina'' Lai, Chan & Ng, 2006 *''Calappa africana'' Lai & Ng, 2006 *''Calappa bicornis'' Miers, 1884 *''Calappa bilineata'' Ng, Lai & Aungtonya, 2002 *''Calappa calappa'' (Linnaeus, 1758) *''Calappa capellonis'' Laurie, 1906 *''Calappa cinerea'' Holthuis, 1958 *''Calappa clypeata'' Borradaile, 1903 *''Calappa conifera'' Galil, 1997 *''Calappa convexa'' Saussure, 1853 *''Calappa dumortieri'' Guinot, 1962 *''Calappa exanthematosa'' Alcock & Anderson, 1894 *''Calappa flammea'' (Herbst, 1794) *''Calappa galloides'' Stimpson, 1859 *''Calappa gallus'' (Herbst, 1803) *''Calappa granulata'' (Linnaeus, 1758) *''Calappa guerini'' De Brito Capello, 1871 *''Calappa hepatica'' (Linnaeus, 1758) *''Calappa japonica'' Ortmann, 1892 *''Calappa karenae'' Ng & Lai, 2012 *''Calappa liaoi'' Ng, 2002 *''Calappa lophos'' (Herbst, 1782) *''Calappa monilicanthus'' Latreille, 1812 *''Calappa nitida'' Galil, 1997 *''Calappa ocellata'' Holthuis, 1958 *''Calappa ocularia'' Holthuis, 1958 *''Calappa pelii'' Herklots, 1851 *''Calappa philargius'' (Linnaeus, 1758) *''Calappa pokipoki'' Ng, 2000 *''Calappa pustulosa'' Alcock, 1896 *''Calappa quadrimaculata'' Takeda & Shikatani, 1990 *''Calappa rosea'' Jarocki, 1825 *''Calappa rubroguttata'' Herklots, 1851 *''Calappa sebastieni'' Galil, 1997 *''Calappa springeri'' Rathbun, 1931 *''Calappa sulcata'' Rathbun, 1898 *''Calappa tortugae'' Rathbun, 1933 *''Calappa torulosa'' Galil, 1997 *''Calappa tuberculata'' (Fabricius, 1793) *''Calappa tuerkayana'' Pastore, 1995 *''Calappa undulata'' Dai & Yang, 1991 *''Calappa woodmasoni'' Alcock, 1896 *''Calappa yamasitae'' Sakai, 1980 抄文引用元・出典: フリー百科事典『 ウィキペディア（Wikipedia）』 ■ウィキペディアで「Calappa (crab)」の詳細全文を読む スポンサード リンク
