Uca mjoebergi

Uca mjoebergi is a species of fiddler crab discovered by and named after the Swedish zoologist Eric Mjöberg (1882–1938), member of a Swedish scientific expedition to Australia in the early 1900s.
The crab is found along the north and northwest coast of Australia (approximately from Dampier to the Gulf of Carpentaria and on Papua New Guinea's northwest coast).[2]
According to Crane, the species U. mjoebergi should be classified as a subspecies of Uca lactea, which in turn is a member of the subgenus Celuca.[3] More recent works, however, classify the species separately in the subgenus Paraleptuca[1] or subgenus Austruca.[4]
