Two new species of the genus Catapagurus A. Milne-Edwards, 1880, C. poupini n. sp. and C. thysanodactylus n. sp., from the western pacific are fully described and compared with their morphological closest congeners. The horizontal distribution of two others species is considerably expanded eastward to the Fiji Islands, for C. franklinae McLaughlin, 2004 (previously known from the Coral and ­Tasman Seas, and New Caledonia); and for C. tanimbarensis McLaughlin, 1997, previously known from the Kai and Tanimbar Islands and Indonesia.
