摘要
This work focuses on two species of freshwater crabs from Central Africa: Longipotamonautes bolobo n. sp. (from the Democratic Republic of the Congo), and Rotundopotamonautes rwanda n. sp. (from Rwanda). These two taxa are described based on newly identified museum material. Diagnoses, illustrations, and a distribution map are provided for these species, and their conservation status is discussed.
