Lepidophthalmus sinuensis new species, (a) Male major cheliped (lateral view); (b) male chela (internal view); (c) male minor cheliped 

 (lateral view); (d,e) female major cheliped (lateral view); (f) female minor cheliped (lateral view); (g) ischium, merus, and carpus of 

 female minor cheliped (lateral view); (h-k) left pereopods: (h) second, (i) third, (j) fourth, (k) fifth, (a-c, h-j) Male CL 11.5 mm; (d,f) 

 female 9.8 mm; (e,g) female CL 9.0mm; (k) male 10.0mm. Scales equal 4 mm (a-d, f, h-k), 5 mm (e), and 2 mm (g). 



two-segmented (Fig. 4e); distal segment setose, with 

 sinuous anterior margin; basal segment bent in midline 

 at about right angle. Female second pleopod biramous 

 (Fig. 4f), with appendix interna on endopod. Third to 

 fifth pleopods large, strong (Fig. 4g); each pair form- 

 ing a subcircular fan when linked together by appen- 

 dix interna; exopod leaf-like, endopod subtriangular. 



Telson subrectangular, about 1.4 times as wide as 

 long (Fig. 4b); dorsal surface smooth, with two pairs 

 of tufts of setae (one on anterior half, one near pos- 

 terolateral angle); lateral margins convex; posterior 

 margin weakly divided into large, medial, broadly 

 rounded lobe, and two rounded lateral lobes. Uropod 

 with protopodite-bearing spine on posterolateral angle;
