Leptuca leptodactyla, commonly known as the thin-fingered fiddler crab or the western Atlantic fiddler crab, is a species of fiddler crab native to the western Atlantic coast of the Americas.[1]

Taxonomy

Previously a member of the genus Uca, the species was transferred in 2016 to the genus Leptuca when Leptuca was promoted from subgenus to genus level.[2][3]

Description

The carapace can be up to 13mm wide.[4]

Distribution

The range of the crab includes southern Florida, Mexico, the West Indies, Venezuela, and Brazil.[1][5] Within Brazil, the crab is present along the coast between the states of Maranhão and Santa Catarina.[5]

Habitat

The species lives in mangrove stands and intertidal sand flats.[6][7]
