Arachnothelphusa sarang is a type of gecarcinucid crab that lives in the limestone cave in northern Sarawak. This is the second cavernicolous member from a limestone cave system, the first is the Arachnothelphusa rhadamanthysi, which is found in Sabah. The species is named after the locality where the holotype was collected. The dorsal surface of this crab species is pale purplish-brown to yellowish colour, while the ventral surface is pale yellow to dirty white. The corneas of the eyes are fully pigmented. Both sexes are quite similar, but the females have a slightly broader and lower carapace in terms of non-sexual characters. Compared to other species from the same genus, this crab has very low to indistinct epibranchial tooth and the very low, broad external orbital tooth (Grinang & Ng, 2021).
