Cerberusa
Cerberusa is a genus of blind troglobite freshwater crabs, in the subfamily Potamiscinae. It has been found in caves of Borneo. Crabs of the genus Cerberusa had been originally first collected in the Deer Cave, Green Cave, Clearwater cave and Wonder Cave in Sarawak.
The species C. caeca has strongly reduced eyes, filling less than half the orbit; it was originally found only in completely dark sections of the caves. It is one of the few species of blind cave potamid crabs known, along with Diyutamon cereum and Phasmon typhlops.
