Derived from “mono” meaning single, and “spina” meaning spine, alluding to the single spine row on carpus of the cheliped.</p><p>Distribution. Presently known only from the Beibu Gulf and Nansha islands in the South China Sea; 46– 53 m.</p><p>Habitat. Sandy-mud, occupying shells of the gastropod Glossaulax .</p><p>Remarks. Spiropagurus monospinosus sp. nov. is unique in the genus by the carpus of the chelipeds having only one longitudinal row of spines. This new species is morphologically most similar to S. profundorum, and it differs from the latter by the following characters: the new species only bears one row of spines on the carpus of the chelipeds rather than two rows of spines in S. profundorum; the new species bears no spine or only one spine on the distal margin of the carpus of the chelipeds rather than 4–6 spines in S. profundorum; the new species bears 6 spines in the median cleft of the telson, while S. profundorum bears 8–10 spines.</p></div>	https://treatment.plazi.org/id/771887DEB51CFF9C568CFECCFBE9F8A4	Public Domain	No known copyright restrictions apply.

See re-description in McLaughlin (2002) or McLaughlin et al. (2007).</p><p>Distribution. East China Sea, Taiwan, South China Sea; Japan; Bay of Bengal; Andaman Sea; Gulf of Thailand; northern Australia; Singapore; Malaysia; 10– 90 m.</p><p>Habitat. Sandy-mud, frequently occupying shells of the gastropod Polinices .</p><p>Remarks. Spiropagurus spiriger is easily recognized by the dorsal surface of the ocular peduncles bearing several short transverse rows of setae. The character of the present materials generally agrees with the original description. However, the chelipeds of only one of all the specimens is asymmetrical (the left cheliped is prominent larger than the right cheliped). The asymmetrical is abnormal for this genus, and all the other characters are similar to those of other specimens. Therefore, this should be considered variation in this species. The maximum shield length of S. spiriger was reported as 7.80 mm (McLaughlin et al. 2007), but the present materials have expand the range to 9.00 mm. Additionally, some specimens with the median cleft of the telson only bearing one spine were found in the present materials. However, the specimens are smaller (SL not longer than 4.5 mm) and the sexual tube of the males are not well developed. We believe these specimens are juveniles.</p></div>	https://treatment.plazi.org/id/771887DEB515FF93568CFC5CFBB7FD93	Public Domain	No known copyright restrictions apply.
