Description of A New Species of Freshwater Crab of the Genus Qianguimon Huang, 2018 (Crustacea: Decapoda: Brachyura: Potamidae) from Yulin, Guangxi, Southern China
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.
