Abstract

AbstractThe freshwater crabs of the genus TiwaripotamonBott, 1970 (Potamidae) are revised and the identities of two poorly known species, T. simulum (Alcock, 1909) and T. araneum (Rathbun, 1905), are clarified after a re-examination of the types. Tiwaripotamon, sensu stricto, is restricted to five species, T. annamense (Balss, 1914); T. araneum (Rathbun, 1905); T. pingguoenseDai and Naiyanetr, 1994; T. xiurenenseDai and Naiyanetr, 1994; and a new species, T. edostilus, from Vietnam. Tiwaripotamon simulum is transferred to the genus KanpotamonNg and Naiyanetr, 1993. Keys to the species of Tiwaripotamon and Kanpotamon are also provided.
