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