On a new species of freshwater crab, Indochinamonkhinpyae, from northern Myanmar (Crustacea, Brachyura, Potamidae).

ABSTRACT: A new species of freshwater crab of the genus Indochinamon Yeo & Ng, 2007 (family Potamidae), is described from highlands north of Myitkyina in Kachin State, Myanmar. Indochinamonkhinpyae sp. n. is distinguished from congeners by its very rugose carapace, broad male pleon and distinctively structured male first gonopod; and is the first potamid species recorded from northern Myanmar.
