Six species of squat lobsters from a cold seep field in the northeastern South China Sea are studied. Two new species, Uroptychus jiaolongae n. sp. and U. spinulosus n. sp., are described, and their distinctions from the related species are detailed. Two species, Munidopsis tuberosa Osawa, Lin & Chan, 2008 and M. verrilli Benedict, 1902, are herein reported for the first time from a cold seep/hydrothermal vent environment. The number of squat lobsters species associated with those chemosynthetic environments now stands at forty-one.
对来自中国南海东北部一个冷泉区的六种铠甲虾进行了研究。描述了两个新物种，即蛟龙铠甲虾新种（Uroptychus jiaolongae n. sp.）和多刺铠甲虾新种（U. spinulosus n. sp.），并详细说明了它们与相关物种的区别。首次报道了两种铠甲虾，即瘤背刺铠虾（Munidopsis tuberosa Osawa, Lin & Chan, 2008）和韦氏刺铠虾（M. verrilli Benedict, 19o2）在冷泉/热液喷口环境中的存在。与这些化学合成环境相关的铠甲虾物种数量现已达到41种。
