[Guinotellus melvillensis Serene, 1971, is a rare euxanthine crab (Brachyura, Xanthidae) described from only a single juvenile male specimen devoid of pereiopods, and has never been reported since. Thirteen additional specimens, all adults, have since been discovered, allowing us to make a complete description of its adult morphology. The affinities of this unique, monotypic genus are also discussed.

Treize specimens, tous adultes, ont ete decouverts, nous permettant de faire une description complete de la morphologie de l'adulte.
