Abstract

The porcellanid crab Porcellana sayana is, for the first time, reported to have a symbiotic association with the crab Stratiolibinia bellicosa. This is also the first record on the association between the porcelain crab P. sayana and a brachyuran crab on the Brazilian coastline. In addition, this is the second record of association of P. sayana with a Majoidea crab.
