Geosesarma is genus of terrestrial crabs. They live and reproduce on land with the larval stages inside the egg. Some species such as Geosesarma nemesis are insectivorous and are beneficial to humans. Some species are kept as pets. They were once considered part of the Grapsidae family but were moved out with the other Sesarmidae. Most species of this genus are brightly coloured.
