Abstract
During two field surveys, one to Papua New Guinea organized by MNHN in 2014, and one to Vietnam in 2007, two specimens of previously undescribed species of the genus Salmoneus Holthuis, 1955, were collected. The first species, S. gimlii sp. nov., is distinguished by its dorsally setose body with short and relatively thick setae, presence of a subminor cheliped, the morphology of its major and subminor chelipeds, and a small rostrum and orbital teeth. The Vietnamese species, S. secundus sp. nov., is characterized by the specific armature of its major and subminor chelipeds. The latter species also exhibits a unique asymmetry in the sixth pleuron, with one side possessing a complete articulated flap and the other an incomplete one. The discovery of these two new species increases the known Salmoneus species count from Papua New Guinea to seven, and from Vietnam to nine.
期刊介绍：
Zootaxa is a peer-reviewed international journal for rapid publication of high quality papers on any aspect of systematic zoology, with a preference for large taxonomic works such as monographs and revisions. Zootaxa considers papers on all animal taxa, both living and fossil, and especially encourages descriptions of new taxa. All types of taxonomic papers are considered, including theories and methods of systematics and phylogeny, taxonomic monographs, revisions and reviews, catalogues/checklists, biographies and bibliographies, identification guides, analysis of characters, phylogenetic relationships and zoogeographical patterns of distribution, descriptions of taxa, and nomenclature. Open access publishing option is strongly encouraged for authors with research grants and other funds. For those without grants/funds, all accepted manuscripts will be published but access is secured for subscribers only.
