A new freshwater crab of the genus Sinopotamon Bott, , S. baokangense sp. nov. (Potamidae), is described from Baokang County, Hubei Province, P.R. China. The new species closely resembles two other Chinese species: S. cochlearidigitum Dai, Chen, Zhang & Lin, , from Fang and Zhushan Counties; and S. introdigitum Dai, Chen, Zhang & Lin, , from Fang and Yun Counties and Shennongjia, in general morphology and their distinctive spoon-tipped cheliped fingers. The new species, however, can easily be distinguished by a number of cheliped, male abdominal, and male first gonopod characters.
Un nouveau crabe d’eau douce du genre Sinopotamon Bott, , S. baokangense sp. nov. (Potamidae) provenant du district de Baokang, province du Hubei, Chine, est décrit. La nouvelle espèce ressemble fortement aux deux autres espèces chinoises: S. cochlearidigitum Dai, Chen, Zhang & Lin, , district de Fang et Zhushan; et S. introdigitum Dai, Chen, Zhang & Lin, , district de Fang, Yun et Shennongjia, dans leur morphologie générale et leur chélipède à l’extrémité caractéristique. La nouvelle espèce, cependant, peut facilement être distinguée par certains caractères du chélipède, de l’abdomen du mâle et du premier gonopode du mâle.
