}ABSTRAC1: -A new species of cave-dwelling xanthid crab of the subfamily Liomerinae, Neoliomera cerasinus, is described from marine caves in Christmas Island (Indian Ocean) and Ryukyus (Japan). The species, the largest known in the genus, is characterised by its very broad carapace, entire anterolateral margin without emarginations or lobes, very granular carapace and appendages, elongate ambulatory dactyli and structure of the male first gonopod.

Subterranean fauna of Christmas Island: habitats and salient features
- Environmental Science
- 2014
The island, which has probably been emergent since the mid-Miocene, has a basalt core largely covered by Tertiary carbonates which have undergone intense karstification owing to the high rainfall on tropical forest, and through mixing corrosion as relative sea level changed and marine terraces formed as a result of tectonic uplift of the island.

Without this knowledge, the ability to monitor, detect or predict anthropogenic impacts on marine species is severely restricted, and therefore limits the development of management strategies aimed at conserving the unique marine biodiversity of these islands.
