Abstract. The taxonomy of the Indo-West Pacific leucosiid crabs of the genus Parilia Wood-Mason, in Wood-Mason & Alcock, 1891, is revised. The genus is redefined and four species are here recognised: P. alcocki Wood-Mason, in Wood-Mason & Alcock, 1891 (type species); P. major Sakai, 1961; P. ovata Chen, 1984; and P. pattersoni, new species. Parilia pattersoni from the eastern Indian Ocean is morphologically similar to P. major but can easily be distinguished by its more granulate carapace, chelipeds and ambulatory legs. Parilia tuberculata Sakai, 1961, is referred to its own genus, Neparilia, new genus, as the structure of its carapace, third maxillipeds, chelipeds, male pleon and male first gonopods are markedly different from Parilia s. str.
