Summary description from Wikipedia:

Calappa (crab)

Calappa is a genus of crabs known commonly as box crabs or shame-faced crabs. The name box crab comes from their distinctly bulky carapace, and the name shame-faced is from anthropomorphising the way the crab's chelae (claws) fold up and cover its face, as if it were hiding its face in shame.

Calappa in languages:

Chinese: 饅頭蟹屬
English: Typical Box Crabs
French: Crabes boîtes
French: Crabes honteux
