Abstract
A third species of the genus Balssipotamon Ðặng et Hồ, 2008 (Brachyura: Decapoda: Potamidae), B. tre sp. nov., is described from Tre Island located in Nhatrang Bay, Vietnam. The new species clearly differs from the congeners in morphology, as well as ecologically, inhabiting a coastal brackish pond, cohabited by the typical brackish-water crabs Varuna litterata (Fabricius, 1798) (Varunidae) and Somanniathelphusa cf. sinensis (H. Milne-Edwards, 1853) (Gecarcinucidae).
期刊介绍:
Zoosystematica Rossica is an international journal for publication of papers on any aspects of systematic zoology, in all groups of animals, both extant and fossil, from all over the World. The journal is published in English and focuses on the descriptions of new taxa, revisions and reviews, nomenclature, theories and methods of taxonomy and phylogeny, interesting new faunal records, catalogues and checklists, identification keys, phylogenetic relationships and zoogeography. Faunistic articles are published in a limited way and only if they contain new records for large geographical regions and are important for zoogeography or taxonomy.
