Abstract

Three species of the subfamily Neogebiculinae Sakai, 2006 are recorded from the Beibu Gulf (Tonkin Gulf), northern South China Sea. The first species, Neogebicula wistari Ngoc-Ho, 1995 is recorded for the first time from Chinese waters. The other two are described as new to science in this paper. The present authors take great pleasure to name them as Paragebicula bijdeleyi sp. nov. and Neogebicula holthuisi sp. nov. to honor the great carcinologist, the late Dr. Lipke Bijdeley Holthuis. Neogebicula holthuisi is closely allied to N. monochela (Sakai, 1967) but differs markedly in having an elongate rostrum. Paragebicula bijdeleyi sp. nov. is closely related to P. edentata (Lin, Ngoc-Ho and Chan, 2001) but differs markedly in the rostrum bearing marginal denticles.
