This dataset contains the digitized treatments in Plazi based on the original journal article Wang, Bin, Wan, Yuhan, Fang, Xuefeng, Qiu, Jian-Wen, Dong, Dong (2026): Integrative taxonomy reveals a new cryptic species of Raphidopus Stimpson, 1858 (Decapoda, Anomura, Porcellanidae) from the Yellow Sea and East China Sea. European Journal of Taxonomy 1048: 202-222, DOI: 10.5852/ejt.2026.1048.3247, URL: https://europeanjournaloftaxonomy.eu/index.php/ejt/article/download/3247/14373
Abstract. Raphidopus ciliatus Stimpson, 1858 is believed to be widely distributed across the Indo-West Pacific and has been reported along the entire coast of China. However, molecular and morphological analyses reveal the presence of a cryptic species in northern Chinese waters, described herein as R. xinzhengi Dong, Wan & Wang sp. nov. The COI sequences of the two species of Raphidopus show 8.7–9.0% divergence, higher than each intraspecific variation. The new species can be distinguished from R. ciliatus primarily by the arrangement of granules on the cheliped carpus, the length/width ratio of the cheliped carpus, and the length/width ratio of the merus of the first ambulatory leg. An updated key to the species of the genus Raphidopus is provided.
