Perbrinckia is a genus of freshwater crabs of the family Gecarcinucidae that is endemic to Sri Lanka,[1] named after Per Brinck. Its natural habitats are subtropical or tropical moist lowland forests, subtropical or tropical swamps, and rivers. It contains 14 species,[2] most of which are included on the IUCN Red List as critically endangered species (CR) or vulnerable species (VU) because they are threatened by habitat loss; only one species is of least concern (LC).
