Little work has been done on the Tanaidacean Crustaceans of the Pakistani coast. The genus Pagurapseudes lives in empty gastropod shells and looks like a small hermit crab. The species is new to science and the genus new to the area. This is the tenth species of the genus from the Indian Ocean. It has been fully described and illustrated.
