Discoplax longipes is a species of terrestrial crab. It is found in karstic caves on several Pacific islands.[2] Mating occurs in the caves, after which the females migrate to the sea to release their fertilised eggs.[3] The genus Discoplax was for a long time synonymised with Cardisoma, but was resurrected in the late 20th century.[2]
