''Callinectes similis'', sometimes called the lesser blue crab〔 or dwarf crab, is a West Atlantic species of blue crab. It was described by Austin B. Williams in 1966. ==Description== ''Callinectes similis'' is a good swimmer, and its last pereiopods are expanded to paddles with which it swims. Adult males may grow up to a width of , while females may reach . ''C. similis'' is most closely related to ''Callinectes danae'', a species also found in the Gulf of Mexico, but whose range extends as far south as Rio Grande do Sul, and ''C. ornatus'', a species found from North Carolina to Rio Grande do Sul. ''C. similis'' is most easily separated from ''C. danae'' and ''C. ornatus'' by the form of the first and second pleopods in males. It can be told apart from the more distantly related ''C. sapidus'' by the number of teeth on the front edge of the carapace, there being six in ''C. similis'' and only two in ''C. sapidus''.〔
