Abstract

A new genus and species of freshwater crab, Melothelphusa apiaka n. gen., n. sp., from Mato Grosso, Central Brazil is described and illustrated. Brasiliothelphusa dardanelosensis Magalhães & Türkay, 2010, is assigned to the new genus Melothelphusa. Therefore, the genus Brasiliothelphusa Magalhães & Türkay, 1986, is restricted to its type species B. tapajoense Magalhães & Türkay, 1986. The new taxa can be easily separated from their close relatives by a suite of morphological characters from the first gonopod.

摘要

描述并图示了一种来自巴西中部马托格罗索州的淡水蟹新属新种——阿皮亚卡美洛束腹蟹（Melothelphusa apiaka n. gen., n. sp.）。2010年的达达内洛斯巴西束腹蟹（Brasiliothelphusa dardanelosensis Magalhães & Türkay）被归入新属美洛束腹蟹属（Melothelphusa）。因此，1986年的巴西束腹蟹属（Brasiliothelphusa Magalhães & Türkay）被限定为其模式种——1986年的塔帕若斯巴西束腹蟹（B. tapajoense Magalhães & Türkay）。通过第一对交接器的一系列形态特征，这些新分类单元可以很容易地与其近缘种区分开来。
