Abstract

Abstract

The taxonomy of the genus Parasesarma is one of the most problematic in the Sesarmidae, with their very similar morphology. We compared the morphology characteristics of Parasesarma affine, P. pictum, P. tripectinis, P. ungulatum(from the coast of China) and P. plicatum(from Singapore), and found that these five species could be distinguished from the shape of chelipeds(which included pectinate crest of dorsal surface of palm, the number of dactylar tubercles of the chelipeds)and the male first gonopod. The partial sequences of mitochondrial DNA 16S rRNA gene of these five Parasesarma species were contributed to molecular phylogenetic analysis, and the result showed that the genetic distances was 1.9%~9.3% between interspecies, and had reached the level difference of interspecies; the phylogenetic tree indicated that P. affine and P. plicatum were clustered together and then clustered into a clade with P. ungulatum, P. pictum and P. tripectinis were clustered into a distinct clade. Both of evidence of morphological and molecular data supported that the five Parasesarma species were separate and valid species.
