Description of a new montane freshwater crab (Crustacea: Potamidae: Geothelphusa) from northern Taiwan.

A new freshwater crab is described from a montane area in northern Taiwan based on morphological characters and molecular evidence. Geothelphusa cilan sp. nov., from the Cilan Forest, situated on the boundary of Hsinchu and Yilan (= Ilan) counties, is close to G. monticola Shy, Ng & Yu, 1994, and G. takuan Shy, Ng & Yu, 1994, but can be distinguished by its male first gonopod (G1) and the ratio...

A Revision of the Freshwater Crab Genus Hainanpotamon Dai, 1995 (Crustacea: Decapoda: Brachyura: Potamidae: Potamiscinae), with a Redescription of Potamon (Potamon) orientale (Parisi, 1916) and Descriptions of Three New Species

The taxonomy of the potamid genus Hainanpotamon Dai, 1995, from Vietnam, Laos, Hainan Island (China) and, purportedly, Okinawa Island (Japan) is reviewed. The type species, Potamon (Potamon) orientale (Parisi, 1916), is redescribed and a lectotype designated. In addition, three new species are described. The poorly known species Potamon (Geothelphusa) globosum Parisi, 1916, is assigned to Haina...

A new species of Tiwaripotamon Bott, 1970, from northern Vietnam, with notes on T. vietnamicum (Dang & Ho, 2002) and T. edostilus Ng & Yeo, 2001 (Crustacea, Brachyura, Potamidae).

A new species of potamid freshwater crab, Tiwaripotamon vixuyenense sp. nov., is described from caves in Ha Giang, northern Vietnam. The new species can be distinguished from congeners by a suite of characters, including the relatively small epibranchial tooth, more slender ambulatory legs and a proportionately stout male first gonopod. Molecular data using the mitochondrial cytochrome oxidase ...

Three Freshwater and Coastal Crabs (Crustacea: Decapoda: Brachyura) New to Penghu, Taiwan, with Notes on Their Biogeographical Implications

Three species of crabs new to Penghu County, Taiwan are reported. Nanhaipotamon formosanum (Parisi, 1916) was found on the bank of a river in Husi Village and is the first report of a true freshwater crab from Penghu. In the same locality, Eriocheir japonica De Haan, 1835 lives in a river which implies Penghu may have played a role as a "stepping stone" for this species during the dispersal bet...
