The poorly known majid genus Ortmann, 1893, is revised. The genus was previously known only from one species, Ortmann, 1893, described from Japan and reported from east Africa. is redescribed and figured in detail from the type and material from the type locality, Sagami Bay in Japan. This species is now restricted to Japan. Specimens from east Africa are herein described as two new species: n. sp. and n. sp.; they differ markedly from (now restricted to Japan) in the arrangement of spines on the carapace and pereopods, third maxillipeds, male pleon and gonopods.

A recently published molecular phylogenetic analysis, focusing on selected Western Atlantic subspecies of Ortmann, 1893 and allies, was inconclusive about relationships among these members. This previous study found three groups that split into two distinct lineages: (Brazil 1) (= sensu stricto) and (Brazil 2) + (USA). Combined morphometry and molecular analyses applied to members of the group (Brazil 2) revealed a new unidentified species genetically related to the representatives.

The diversity of primary freshwater crabs of Central America is underestimated and poorly known, specially when considering both Atlantic and Pacific drainages distribution. Among the family Pseudothelphusidae Ortmann, 1893, the genus Ptychophallus Smalley, 1964 was recently revised using morphological data and encompassing 14 valid species, which are distributed exclusively in Costa Rica and Panama. Despite the informative scenario constructed with this previous study, some uncertainties remained such as those related to the populations distributed along different drainages and the lack of complete information regarding the phylogenetic relationships among the species that belong to this genus.

The brachyuran crab Miers, 1884, described on the basis of two juveniles from the Arafura Sea, is a poorly known species of uncertain systematic position. It was made the type and only species of Rathbun, 1914, and assigned to the Prionoplacinae (Goneplacidae). Subsequent revisions of the goneplacids showed Prionoplacinae to be a junior synonym of Eucratopsinae Stimpson, 1871, as a member of the Panopeidae Ortmann, 1893, but no one has re-evaluated the position of .
