Establishment of Two New Genera for Potamon Lacunifer Rathbun, 1904, and Potamon Laosensis Rathbun, 1904 (Decapoda, Brachyura, Potamidae) From Laos

Establishment of Two New Genera for Potamon Lacunifer Rathbun, 1904, and Potamon Laosensis... ESTABLISHMENT OF TWO NEW GENERA FOR POTAMON LACUNIFER RATHBUN, 1904, AND POTAMON LAOSENSIS RATHBUN, 1904 (DECAPODA, BRACHYURA, POTAMIDAE) FROM LAOS BY PETER K. L. NG Department of Zoology, National University of Singapore, Kent Ridge, Singapore 0511, Republic of Singapore ABSTRACT The identities of two poorly known potamid species, Potamon (Potamon) lacunifer Rathbun, 1904, and Potamon (Potamon) laosensis Rathbun, 1904, are clarified. Potamon lacunifer had been incorrectly synonymised with P. laosensis by Bott (1970). Both species are very distinct from each other as well as all other potamid species, and two new monotypic genera are established for them. Potamon lacunifer is referred to Rathbunamon gen. nov. whilst P. laosensis is referred to Pilosamon gen. nov.
