Description:

Two small spider crabs belonging to a species of Platymaia Miers, 1885 (Inachidae) were photographed by video feed from the Nautilus Exploration Program vessel Nautilus at 706 m off American Samoa, Pacific Ocean. Individuals swam by extending and contracting their very long, slender legs, rising above the sea floor by an estimated 2 m. These crabs do not have paddles on the fifth pereiopods, but they have setose legs. This is the first report of swimming in the wild for a crab of this genus.
