A new species of potamid crab of the genus Teretamon Yeo Ng, 2007, is described from Namdapha Tiger Reserve in Changlang district of Arunachal Pradesh, India. The new species, T. kempi n. sp., can be distinguished from its congeners by a distinct combination of carapace and gonopod characters: a relatively high carapace with a bilobed frontal margin; subquadrate sixth abdominal somite with nearly parallel lateral margins; and a relatively small G1 terminal segment with a semicircular to bluntly triangular dorsal flap. All known Teretamon species are compared with the new species, and a key for this genus is provided.
2007年,耶奥和吴描述了一种属于圆蟹属(Teretamon)的新种河蟹,该新种发现于印度阿鲁纳恰尔邦昌朗区的南达帕哈老虎保护区。新物种肯氏圆蟹(Teretamon kempi n. sp.)可通过头胸甲和交接器特征的独特组合与同属其他物种区分开来:头胸甲相对较高,前缘呈双叶状;第六腹节近方形,侧边近乎平行;第一交接器(G1)末节相对较小,背叶呈半圆形至钝三角形。文中将所有已知的圆蟹属物种与该新物种进行了比较,并给出了该属的检索表。
