A new species of freshwater crab of
the genus Qianguimon Huang,
2018, Q. rongxianense sp.
nov., is described from Rong County, Yulin City, Guangxi Zhuang
Autonomous region, southern China. This new species resembles its
congeners and some species in the genus Yarepotamon Dai & Türkay, 1997,
but can be distinguished from these by its combination of the carapace,
third maxilliped, male gonopod, female vulvae characters and size.
Molecular data derived from the mitochondrial 16S rDNA supports the
establishment of the new species, but does not provide further evidence
as to its generic placement.
Key words: Qianguimon, Freshwater crab,
Guangxi, New species, 16S rDNA.
