Abstract
    Two deep-water species of gall crabs from the Indo-west Pacific are described. Zibrovia galea, found on the coral Phyllangia sp. off Madagascar and the Philippines, has a rectangular carapace with the front deflected anteriorly and the pterygostomian region not fused to the carapace. Luciades agana, found on the coral Leptoseris papyracea off Guam, has a vase-shaped carapace with the front deflected anteriorly and the pterygostomian region fused to the carapace.
