Four species of brachyuran crabs are recorded from Pakistan for the first time. The pinnotherid Indopinnixa sipunculana Manning and Morton, 1987, represents the first record of Pinnotherelinae from the Indian Ocean. Quadrella reticulata Alcock, 1898 (Trapeziidae) is recorded from Pakistan for the first time The euryplacid Eucrate indica Castro and Ng, 2010, is formally recorded from Pakistan for the first time, with earlier records probably confused with E. alcocki Ng and Davie 2002 or E. crenata Alcock, 1900. The xanthid Leptodius gracilis (Dana, 1852) is also a new record, being the second species of the genus reported from Pakistan.
