Stoliczia setoiyenica, a new species of freshwater crab from southern Thailand (Crustacea: Decapoda: Brachyura: Potamidae).

A new species of freshwater crab is described from southern Thailand, near the border with Peninsular Malaysia. Species of Stoliczia are characterised by their relatively flat carapace, a third maxilliped exopod that possesses no or a very short flagellum, and a conical male gonopod terminal segment that lacks or only has a very low dorsal fold. Stoliczia setoiyenica, new species, most closely resembles S. perlensis and S. kedahensis from northern Peninsula Malaysia but can be easily distinguished from congeners by differences in carapace and male gonopod morphology. Comparisons to the two known Thai Stoliczia species, S. panhai and S. ekavibhathai, are also provided for completeness.

The lophogastrids (Crustacea: Peracarida: Lophogastrida) of Indonesia and its adjacent waters. An updated checklist.

The zoogeographic distribution of lophogastrid species (Crustacea: Peracarida: Lophogastrida) occurring in the Indonesian waters is presented. For each species, data on general distribution, bathymetric ranges, habitat and localities reported on published data are provided. A total of 20 lophogastrid species belonging to three families and seven genera occur in Indonesian waters (about 38% of all known lophogastrids species worldwide), a number greater than other areas of Southeast Asia. Also, based on current information, the number of species or species richness is greater than other regions, such as Madagascar, North Pacific off Japan, Mediterranean, Canary Island, northern mid-Atlantic ridge, Iberian Peninsula, Mexico, and Angola Basin (SE Atlantic). Most of the Indonesian species are distributed worldwide, but one species, Lophogaster inermis appears to be endemic to Indonesia. Previous listings of Paralophogaster intermedius occurring in Southeast Asian waters is not verified in any collections, and has therefore been removed from our updated list.

Redescription of Nanomysis siamensis W.M. Tattersall, 1921 (Crustacea: Mysida) after 100 years, with an update of its distribution in the Songkhla Lagoon System, southern Thailand.

Nanomysis siamensis W.M. Tattersall, 1921 is a shallow water mysid which was first described from the Thale Luang and the Thale Sap waters, Songkhla Lagoon System in southern Thailand. Recently, this species was captured further south, in the Thale Sap Songkhla waters. In this study, we provide updated records on spatial distribution of the species in the Songkhla Lagoon System. A total of 272 individuals of this species were observed, and illustrations of the body including all appendages are presented. Among them, the mandible, maxillule and maxilla are described for the first time. Morphological characteristics of N. siamensis are compared with other two known species of the genus Nanomysis.

A new species of long-legged terrestrial Terrapotamon Ng, 1986 (Crustacea: Brachyura: Potamidae) from limestone formations in Satun, southern Thailand.

A new species of terrestrial potamid crab, Terrapotamon longitarsus, is described from limestone hills in Satun Province in southern Thailand. It is easily distinguished from other Terrapotamon species by its conspicuously long ambulatory legs (all congeners have proportionately short legs), relatively smooth dorsal surface of carapace, transversely narrow male thoracic sternites 1-4, and a characteristically structured male first gonopod.
