China has the highest species-richness of freshwater crabs in the world. However, due to the recent and rapid discoveries of freshwater crab species in China there is currently no systematic checklist for classification. Here we present for the first time a checklist of all freshwater crab species found in China that follows the latest classification of Brachyura by Ng et al (2008). The checklist is based on the most recent taxonomic literature and provides updated distributions for each species. There are 311 species of Chinese freshwater crabs in 45 genera and two families. The Potamidae Ortmann, 1896, includes 44 genera and 283 species and subspecies, while the Gecarcinucidae Rathbun, 1904, includes one genus and 28 species. The degree of endemism was found to be high, with 302 species and subspecies (97%), and 38 genera (84%) that are found only in China. The highest species diversity occurs in Yunnan Province (16 genera and 50 species), followed by Taiwan (4 genera and 41 species). The checklist provides a baseline for further studies of the freshwater crabs of China and will be a particularly important reference point for future conservation projects.

淡水蟹俗称溪蟹或初生淡水蟹(primary freshwater crab), 系指整个生活史大都在陆地淡水环境中度过, 其卵直接发育成幼蟹而不经过浮游幼体阶段的蟹类, 隶属软甲纲(Malacostraca)十足目(Decapoda)短尾下目(Brachyura), 已记述的物种超过1,320种(Daniels et al, 2015)。淡水蟹是淡水底栖大型无脊椎动物类群中的关键种, 是健康水域生态环境重要的指示生物。中国是全球淡水蟹物种多样性最高的国家, 已记述的物种总数远超过位居其次的泰国和哥伦比亚(均为101种; Cumberlidge et al, 2009)。中国淡水蟹类包括溪蟹科(Potamidae Ortmann, 1896)和拟地蟹科(Gecarcinucidae Rathbun, 1904)两个科, 其物种多样性以溪蟹科占主导。对中国淡水蟹类的分类研究始于1798年, Fabricius第一次报道了中国淡水蟹1新种: 褶痕束腰蟹Somanniathelphusa plicatus (Fabricius, 1798)。1853年, H. Milne-Edwards报道了分布在长江中游地区的溪蟹科1新种: 锯齿华溪蟹[Sinopotamon denticulatum (H. Milne-Edwards, 1853)](戴爱云, 1999)。我国学者对国内淡水蟹的分类研究始于1934年, 由中国科学院水生生物学家伍献文先生早年在广西地区开展淡水蟹类调查, 并描述和发表了3个溪蟹科新种, 包括: 罗城近溪蟹[Potamiscus loshingensis (Wu, 1934)]、紫螯异掌溪蟹[Heterochelamon purpureomanuale (Wu, 1934)]和镜头华石蟹[Sinolapotamon patellifer (Wu, 1934)]。随后, 我国甲壳动物学研究的奠基人沈嘉瑞先生于1940年发表了在香港发现的溪蟹科1新种: 香港南海溪蟹[Nanhaipotamon hongkongense (Shen, 1940)]。此后, 中国淡水蟹分类和新种发现经历了近30年的停滞期(图1)。在此期间, 沈嘉瑞和戴爱云两位先生于1964年编著出版了《中国动物图谱: 甲壳动物》(第二册), 汇编和记述了此前在中国发现的淡水蟹类1科2属13种(沈嘉瑞和戴爱云, 1964)。进入20世纪70年代以来, 随着全国范围的并殖吸虫流行病学调查工作广泛开展, 中国科学院动物研究所在戴爱云先生领导下成立了中国淡水蟹类研究课题组, 开展了全国性的淡水蟹类调查, 新种发现和系统分类研究逐渐升温。特别是90年代, 中国淡水蟹的新种发现达到一个空前的井喷期, 共发现和描述160个新种(图1)。至1999年, 戴爱云编著出版的《中国动物志》(束腹蟹科、溪蟹科)共记载中国淡水蟹类228种及亚种, 分隶2科35属。此后, 国内外专家又陆续发表了中国淡水蟹47新种(Naruse et al, 2008, 2013; Zou et al, 2008; Zhu et al, 2010; Do et al, 2016; Chu et al, 2017a, b; Huang et al, 2017; Ng, 2017; Huang, 2018)(图1)。
尽管中国已然是全球淡水蟹物种多样性最高的国家, 已描述的物种数(45属311种)与整个新热带界的物种总数相当(46属320种; Peter K. L. Ng, 2018, 会议交流)。但是, 根据我们野外调查掌握的情况, 可以认为这些已知的物种多样性仍然被低估了。一些此前野外调查工作比较薄弱, 或极少受到关注、甚至尚未涉足的地区, 包括地处青藏高原东南部的横断山区, 以及西南喀斯特地貌地区水资源丰富的地下溶洞等特殊生境, 亟待开展深入的物种多样性本底调查。可以预见, 未来在这些地区将有许多新种或新属等类群的发现和报道。据估计, 中国淡水蟹类的物种数将达到400种(Peter K. L. Ng, 2018, 会议交流)。

Sinopotamon baokangense sp. nov., a new freshwater crab with spoon-tipped cheliped fingers from Hubei Province, P. R. China (Decapoda, Brachyura, Potamidae)
Abstract A new freshwater crab of the genus Sinopotamon Bott, 1967, 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, 1986, from Fang and Zhushan Counties; and S. introdigitum Dai, Chen, Zhang & Lin, 1986, 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.

A new genus and new species of freshwater crab from Yunnan Province, China (Decapoda, Brachyura, Potamidae)
A new genus Arquatopotamon gen. n. of the family Potamidae Ortmann, 1896, is established and a new species, Arquatop otamon jizushanense sp. n. from Yunnan Province, China is described. The new genus is established based on the distinctive distal part of the male first gonopod, with arched-shaped subterminal and terminal segments (in mesioventral view) and female gonopores (vulvae) on thoracic sternites 5/6 and a combination of characters including the carapace and male telson, while it is similar to the five known genera in Yunnan Province and adjacent area, Tenuipotamon Dai, 1990, Pararanguna Dai & Chen, 1985, Trichopotamon Dai & Chen, 1985 , Potamiscus Alcock, 1909 and Aparapotamon Dai & Chen, 1985, in having a third maxilliped exopod without a flagellum. Present molecular data based on a barcoding marker of 16S rDNA provide strong support for the genus as being new.
Freshwater ecosystems in the tropics host a diverse endemic fauna including freshwater crabs, but the rapid loss and deterioration of habitat means that many species are now under imminent threat. Studies on freshwater fish and amphibians suggest a third to half of the species in some tropical freshwaters is either extinct or endangered, but the status of the freshwater crabs is not known. Freshwater crabs, with 1280 species, represent one-fifth of all the World鈥檚 brachyurans. We therefore undertook a comprehensive IUCN Red List assessment of the freshwater crabs, which was the first time that such a study had been attempted on a global scale for any group of freshwater invertebrates. The conservation status of all known species from the Americas, Africa, Europe, Asia, and Australasia revealed unexpectedly high threat levels. Here we show that about one-sixth of all freshwater crab species have an elevated risk of extinction, only one-third are not at-risk, and although none are actually extinct, almost half are too poorly known to assess. Out of 122 countries that have populations of freshwater crabs, 43 have species in need of protection. The majority of threatened species are restricted-range semi-terrestrial endemics living in habitats subjected to deforestation, alteration of drainage patterns, and pollution. This is illustrated with a case study of one such species found in Singapore. This underlines the need to prioritize and develop conservation measures before species decline to levels from which they cannot recover. The proportion of freshwater crabs threatened with extinction is equal to that of reef-building corals, and exceeds that of all other groups that have been assessed except for amphibians. These results represent a baseline that can be used to design strategies to save the World鈥檚 threatened freshwater crab species.
Abstract China lies at the heart of the global center of freshwater crab diversity in tropical Asia, where the 2 most diverse families occur: Potamidae (505 species, 95 genera) and Gecarcinucidae (344 species, 59 genera). China stands out as the country with the highest species richness of freshwater crabs globally. Its fauna comprises 243 species in 37 genera and in 2 families, and species discovery is still progressing at a rapid pace. The vast majority of the species are distributed in southwest, south central and eastern China in the Oriental zoogeographical region. China also stands out as having a highly endemic freshwater crab fauna at the species level (96%) and at the genus level (78%). Although the recent International Union for the Conservation of Nature (IUCN) red list conservation assessment found only 6 out of 228 species (2%) to be threatened (5 potamids and 1 gecarcinucid), the majority (more than 75%) of Chinese species are regarded as data deficient, so the number of threatened species is likely to be a serious underestimate. Threats from increasing habitat destruction and pollution are a major concern due to the rapidly growing economy and massive developments taking place in China. There is therefore an urgent need for increased species exploration and for the development of a conservation strategy for China's threatened (and potentially threatened) endemic freshwater crab species. 漏 2011 ISZS, Blackwell Publishing and IOZ/CAS.
Abstract The taxonomy of the Chinese freshwater crab species previously assigned to the genus Isolapotamon Bott, 1966 (Potamidae) is revised. Isolapotamon is now restricted to taxa from Southeast Asia. The nine Chinese species are here referred to five new genera, viz. Neilupotamon, Yarepotamon, Minpotamon, Vadosapotamon and Latopotamon. Two new Chinese species are also described, Neilupotamon xinganense and Yarepotamon guangdongense.

The investigation of freshwater crabs in Fujian Province
. Current Zoology, 25, 243-248. (in Chinese with English abstract)
Phylogenetic reconstruction, divergence time estimations and ancestral range estimation were undertaken for 66% of the Afrotropical freshwater crab fauna (Potamonautidae) based on four partial DNA loci (12S rRNA, 16S rRNA, cytochrome oxidase one [COI], and histone 3). The present study represents the most comprehensive taxonomic sampling of any freshwater crab family globally, and explores the impact of paleodrainage interconnectivity on cladogenesis among freshwater crabs. Phylogenetic analyses of the total evidence data using maximum-likelihood (ML), maximum parsimony (MP), and Bayesian inference (BI) produced a robust statistically well-supported tree topology that reaffirmed the monophyly of the Afrotropical freshwater crab fauna. The estimated divergence times suggest that the Afrotropical Potamonautidae diverged during the Eocene. Cladogenesis within and among several genera occurred predominantly during the Miocene, which was associated with major tectonic and climatic ameliorations throughout the region. Paleodrainage connectivity was observed with specimens from the Nilo-Sudan and East African coast proving to be sister to specimens from the Upper Guinea Forests in West Africa. In addition, we observed strong sister taxon affinity between specimens from East Africa and the Congo basin, including specimens from Lake Tanganyika, while the southern African fauna was retrieved as sister to the Angolan taxa. Within the East African clade we observed two independent transoceanic dispersal events, one to the Seychelles Archipelago and a second to Madagascar, while we observe a single transoceanic dispersal event from West Africa to S茫o Tom茅. The ancestral area estimation suggested a West African/East African ancestral range for the family with multiple dispersal events between southern Africa and East Africa, and between East Africa and Central Africa The taxonomic implications of our results are discussed in light of the widespread paraphyly evident among a number of genera.

A new species of freshwater crab of the genus Tiwaripotamon Bott, 1970 (Crustacea, Brachyura, Potamidae) from northern Vietnam and southern China
Abstract A new freshwater crab species of the family Potamidae is described from the boundaries of northern Vietnam and southern China. Tiwaripotamon pluviosum sp. nov. can be distinguished from other species by a suite of morphological characters, including a relatively flat carapace, relatively less slender legs, and distinct dorsal flaps on the male first gonopods. Molecular data using the mitochondrial cytochrome oxidase subunit I (COI) also supports this species as being new.
Patterns of diversity, areas of endemism, and multiple glacial refuges for freshwater crabs of the genus Sinopotamon in China (Decapoda: Brachyura: Potamidae)
Abstract Previous research has shown that the geographical distribution patterns of freshwater fishes and amphibians have been influenced by past climatic oscillations in China resulting from Pleistocene glacial activity. However, it remains unknown how these past changes have impacted the present-day distribution of Chinese freshwater crabs. This work describes the diversity and endemism of freshwater crabs belonging to Sinopotamon, a highly speciose genus endemic to China, and evaluates its distribution in terms of topography and past climatic fluctuations. Species diversity within Sinopotamon was found to be concentrated in an area from the northeastern edge of the Yunnan-Guizhou Plateau to the Jiangnan Hills, and three areas of endemism were identified. Multiple regression analysis between current climatic variables and Sinopotamon diversity suggested that regional annual precipitation, minimum temperature in the coldest month, and annual temperature range significantly influenced species diversity and may explain the diversity patterns of Sinopotamon. A comparison of ecological niche models (ENMs) between current conditions and the last glacial maximum (LGM) showed that suitable habitat for Sinopotamon in China severely contracted during the LGM. The coincidence of ENMs and the areas of endemism indicated that southeast of the Daba Mountains, and central and southeastern China, are potential Pleistocene refuges for Sinopotamon. The presence of multiple Pleistocene refuges within the range of this genus could further promote inter- and intraspecific differentiations, and may have led to high Sinopotamon species diversity, a high endemism rate and widespread distribution.

Revision of Yarepotamon Dai & Türkay, 1997 (Brachyura: Potamidae), freshwater crabs endemic to southern China, with descriptions of two new genera and four new species
A new genus and species of freshwater crab, Diyutamon cereum n. gen., n. sp., is described from a cave in Guizhou, China. This is the first record of a true stygomorphic crab from China and East Asia, possessing pale body coloration, strongly reduced eyes, and long ambulatory legs. While superficially similar to Chinapotamon Dai & Naiyanetr, 1994, and Tiwaripotamon Bott, 1970, the new genus possesses a diagnostic combination of carapace, ambulatory leg, thoracic sternal, and male abdominal characters that easily distinguishes it from other genera. Molecular data derived from the mitochondrial 16S rDNA supports the establishment of the new genus.
Abstract Sinopotamon Bott, 1967 is the most speciose and widely distributed freshwater crab genus in East Asia. Our extensive sampling includes about 76% of the known Sinopotamon taxa, and nearly covers its entire distribution area. Based on mitochondrial cytochrome oxidase I (COI) and 16S rRNA, as well as nuclear 28S rRNA and histone H3, we reconstructed the Sinopotamon phylogeny using maximum likelihood and Bayesian approaches. The divergence time was estimated and multiple methods were used to conduct diversification analyses. The ancestral geographic distribution and character state were reconstructed. Three main clades (Clades I, II and III) that roughly correspond to their main geographic distribution ranges were recovered. Our results challenge the current view of the four major species groups based on the morphological differences in the male first gonopod (G1). The most recent common ancestor of Sinopotamon most likely originated from the Sichuan Basin and surrounding mountains (SBSM) and subsequently dispersed throughout central and eastern China. The exceptionally rapid, recent diversification was detected in Clade II. The high incidence of species-level non-monophyly found in Clade II can be explained by recent rapid radiation. Climatic changes, morphological innovations, range expansion and geographical heterogeneity may all contribute to the diversification in Sinopotamon. This study contributes to our knowledge on diversification of freshwater benthic macro-invertebrates in the East Asian inland ecosystem. Copyright 脗漏 2016 Elsevier Inc. All rights reserved.

Two new species of freshwater crabs of the genus Heterochelamon Tüerkay & Dai, 1997 (Crustacea: Decapoda: Brachyura: Potamidae) from Guangxi Zhuang Autonomous Region, southern China
A re-appraisal of the widely-distributed freshwater crab genus Sinopotamon Bott, 1967, from China, with establishment of a new genus (Crustacea: Decapoda: Potamidae)
Freshwater crabs of the genus Sinopotamon Bott, 1967 (family Potamidae) are widely distributed along the Yangtze River (= Chang Jiang) drainage and are endemic to China. Two distinct clades can be distinguished within Sinopotamon s. lato. on the basis of morphological and molecular data. One clade corresponds to Sinopotamon s. str., with the type species Potamon (Potamon) davidi Rathbun, 1904, and 11 other species, all which occur in the Sichuan Basin (including Sichuan Province and Chongqing City) and reach the border areas of adjacent Shaanxi, Hubei, and Guizhou provinces. A new genus, Longpotamon gen. nov., is proposed for the second clade, with Sinopotamon exiguum Dai, 1997, designated as the type species. Sinopotamon s. str. can be distinguished from Longpotamon gen. nov. by the shape of the male telson and by characters of the male first gonopod and the female vulvae. These differences are supported by the mitochondrial 16S rDNA and cytochrome oxidase subunit I (COI) genetic data. Longpotamon gen. nov. is the largest clade, with 73 known species and a wide distribution along the Yangtze River drainage extending north to the Yellow River drainage and south to the eastern side of Wuyishan Range. The two genera overlap in the Sichuan Basin and the adjacent provinces.

Diversity and biogeography of freshwater crabs (Crustacea: Brachyura: Potamidae, Gecarcinucidae) from East Asia
The diversity and biogeography of the two families of freshwater crabs in East Asia (China, Taiwan, Ryukyus and mainland Japan) were studied. The richness in different areas, as well as the distributions of all 40 genera and 311 species were analysed, the patterns examined and possible mechanisms discussed. The published data of freshwater crab species and their distributions in East Asia were analysed by using clustering, diversity index and graphical methods. Six biogeographical districts were recognized for the East Asian freshwater crabs based on similarity of distribution: (I) Hengduanshan Area, including Yunnan and Tibet; (II) Karst Area of Guizhou; (III) Yangtze River Basin, extending to Yellow River basin, with three subdivisions; (IV) Wuyishan Area and Pearl River Basin in Southeast and South China; (V) Hainan Island; and (VI) East Asian Islands, with subdivisions of Taiwan, Ryukyus and mainland Japan. The most diverse genera are the potamids Sinopotamon (84 species) and Geothelphusa (54 species), as well as the gecarcinucid Somanniathelphusa (27 species). Yunnan has the highest species richness (48 species) and diversity (Shannon index 2.21) in continental China, while Taiwan has the highest species richness (42 species) of the island systems. The distribution of the species of the potamid Sinopotamon and other genera along China''s longest drainage, the Yangtze River, can be subdivided into several zones corresponding to the upper, middle and lower reaches of the river basin. The freshwater crab fauna of continental China, the East Asian islands and Hainan Island were all different from each other, and this finding agreed with the findings of molecular phylogenetic studies. The distribution of freshwater crabs in the Yangtze River showed a similar pattern with other freshwater organisms in this drainage. The present biogeographical interpretation contrasts sharply with the traditional zoogeographical patterns proposed that are based on Chinese terrestrial vertebrates. The present analyses of crab distributions suggest that Yunnan is a possible centre of origin for the Potamidae of China and perhaps the whole of East Asia. The freshwater crab species richness in Yunnan is probably the result of its generally warmer climate, more diverse habitats and a long history of cladogenesis.

Crabs of the genus Geothelphusa Stimpson, 1858 (Crustacea, Decapoda, Brachyura, Potamidae) from Taiwan, with descriptions of 25 new species
Twenty-eight potamid crabs of the genus Geothelphusa are reported from Taiwan. Of these, 25 are described as new, most of which have restricted distributions and occur in relatively low altitudes (less than 1000 m above sea level). Of the new species, only G. olea has a relatively wide distribution in western Taiwan, while G. eurysoma, G. monticola and G. takuan are found only in altitudes between 1000 to 2000 m above sea level.

Several species of potamid crabs with aquatic habits have been confused with Potamon tannanti Rathbun, 1904. The present study separates P. tannanti s. str., from these congeners, some of which occur in the southern Chinese province of Yunnan as well, by using carapace, gonopodal and male telson characters. Potamon tannanti is redescribed; P. orleansi Rathbun, 1904, a species previously synonymised under P. tannanti is resurrected; and four new species are described, viz., P. cua, new species, P. guttus, new species, P. ou, new species, and P. villosum, new species. An artificial key to these species is included.

Systema Brachyurorum. Part I. An annotated checklist of extant Brachyuran crabs of the world
1
2008
... China has the highest species-richness of freshwater crabs in the world. However, due to the recent and rapid discoveries of freshwater crab species in China there is currently no systematic checklist for classification. Here we present for the first time a checklist of all freshwater crab species found in China that follows the latest classification of Brachyura by Ng et al (2008). The checklist is based on the most recent taxonomic literature and provides updated distributions for each species. There are 311 species of Chinese freshwater crabs in 45 genera and two families. The Potamidae Ortmann, 1896, includes 44 genera and 283 species and subspecies, while the Gecarcinucidae Rathbun, 1904, includes one genus and 28 species. The degree of endemism was found to be high, with 302 species and subspecies (97%), and 38 genera (84%) that are found only in China. The highest species diversity occurs in Yunnan Province (16 genera and 50 species), followed by Taiwan (4 genera and 41 species). The checklist provides a baseline for further studies of the freshwater crabs of China and will be a particularly important reference point for future conservation projects. ...

... 淡水蟹俗称溪蟹或初生淡水蟹(primary freshwater crab), 系指整个生活史大都在陆地淡水环境中度过, 其卵直接发育成幼蟹而不经过浮游幼体阶段的蟹类, 隶属软甲纲(Malacostraca)十足目(Decapoda)短尾下目(Brachyura), 已记述的物种超过1,320种(Daniels et al, 2015).淡水蟹是淡水底栖大型无脊椎动物类群中的关键种, 是健康水域生态环境重要的指示生物.中国是全球淡水蟹物种多样性最高的国家, 已记述的物种总数远超过位居其次的泰国和哥伦比亚(均为101种; Cumberlidge et al, 2009).中国淡水蟹类包括溪蟹科(Potamidae Ortmann, 1896)和拟地蟹科(Gecarcinucidae Rathbun, 1904)两个科, 其物种多样性以溪蟹科占主导.对中国淡水蟹类的分类研究始于1798年, Fabricius第一次报道了中国淡水蟹1新种: 褶痕束腰蟹Somanniathelphusa plicatus (Fabricius, 1798).1853年, H. Milne-Edwards报道了分布在长江中游地区的溪蟹科1新种: 锯齿华溪蟹[Sinopotamon denticulatum (H.
