Arcopotamonautes raybouldi is a species of freshwater crab. It lives in water-filled tree holes in forests in the eastern Usambara Mountains of Tanzania and the Shimba Hills in Kenya. [1] It is threatened by deforestation resulting from the expansion of the human population, and is listed as a vulnerable species on the IUCN Red List. [1] The species was described in 2004, and named after Professor John N. Raybould of the University of Bristol, who collected the first specimens of the species. [2]
