Abstract

A new species of the wholly freshwater hymenosomatid crab genus Limnopilos Chuang & Ng, 1991, is described from Tonle Sap River in the lower Mekong drainage, Cambodia. This is the fourth species known, and the second one from Indochina. The type species, of Limnopilos, L. naiyanetri Chuang & Ng, 1991, was from the Chao Phraya drainage to the west in central Thailand. The new species is characterized by the presence of a rostrum, relatively shorter ambulatory legs and a different structure of the male first gonopod. Limnopilos sumatranus Naruse & Ng, 2007, is also recorded from southern Peninsular Malaysia for the first time.
