Marratha angusta is a species of crabs in the family Xanthidae, the only species in the genus Marratha.[1] It was originally described as Cycloxanthops angustus by Mary J. Rathbun in 1906, but was moved to a new genus in 2003; the name of the genus, Marratha, is an "arbitrary abbreviation" of Rathbun's name.[2] It has been recorded from the Amirante Islands (Seychelles), Hawaii and the South China Sea.[2]
