On a new species of Emphasis Type="Italic"Paragoneplax/Emphasis Castro (Crustacea: Decapoda: Goneplacidae), Emphasis Type="Italic"P. chenae/Emphasis sp. nov. from the South China Sea

Chinese Journal of Oceanology and Limnology, 29(1):213-216.

A new species of goneplacid crab, Paragoneplax chenae, is described, based on collections from the Nansha Islands, South China Sea. P. chenae closely resembles its only congener P. serenei (Zarenkov, 1972) in general appearance. They are distinguishable from each other by the male abdominal and gonopodal characters.
