Armases cinereum, known generally as the squareback marsh crab or wharf crab, is a species of true crab in the family Sesarmidae. It is found in the Atlantic Ocean.[1][2][3] In 2002, researchers conducted an examination of A. cinereum. The study found that 3.7% of A. cinereum, in the Tampa Bay area, were infected with Leidya bimini.[4]
