Abstract
Two new species of the genus Acutigebia (Decapoda: Gebiidae: Upogebiidae) collected from Xisha (Spratly) Islands are described. Acutigebia serrifera, new species, most closely resembles Acutigebia simsoni (Thomson, 1893), but differs markedly in the propodus of pereopod 1 with lower teeth. Acutigebia laticauda, new species, most closely resembles Acutigebia trypeta (Sakai, 1970), but differs markedly in the proportionally wider telson. This is the first record of the genus Acutigebia from the South China Sea. An updated key to the species of Acutigebia is provided.
