Abstract
In July 2018, during Black Sea hydrobionts sampling, a crab of the family Pilumnidae was detected in the coastal area of the southwestern Crimea. Bottom sediments in the spot of crab finding are represented by a solid substrate. At the time of sampling, the water temperature was +24 °C, and the salinity was 18.0‰. According to morphological characteristics, the specimen we found was classified as a hairy crab Pilumnus cf. vespertilio (Fabricius, 1793) – a representative of the Indo-Pacific. In the work, photographs of alive and fixed crab are given.
