A new species of parathelphusid freshwater crab, Parathelphusa ceophallus, is described from Pulau Buton, a small island southeast of the island of Sulawesi in Indonesia. The species is differentiated from its allies in the P. celebensis complex by the form of its anterolateral margin, postorbital cristae, frontal median triangle, and male first pleopod.
