Description
Neotroglocarcinus hongkongensis (Shen, 1936)
Cryptochirus hongkongensis Shen, 1936b: 23, pl. 1; Shen 1940a: 231; Kropp 1988b: 868, figs. 1d–f, 2e–h [no new specimens].
Taxonomy: Fize and Serène (1957: as N. monodi), Takeda and Tamura (1980: as N. monodi), Kropp (1988 b 1990), Wei et al. (2006).
Type: Status unknown (Kropp 1988 b 1990).
