A new species of the pagurid genus Tomopaguropsis Alcock, 1905 is documented based on specimens collected during the PANGLAO 2005 expedition in deep waters (269-712 m) of the Bohol Sea, the Philippines. This new species, named Tomopaguropsis rahayuae, is the first record of a species of the genus in the Philippines region, and is fully described and illustrated. The most significant morphological character that distinguishes this new species from other congenerics is the symmetrical uropods. The holotype and paratype were found living in scaphopod tusk shells, an unusual type of housing for species of this genus. The morphology and affinities of this new species are discussed. An updated identification key to all species of Tomopaguropsis is also presented.
