Abstract
Two new species of the genus Upogebia (Decapoda: Gebiidae: Upogebiidae) from the South China Sea are described. Upogebia jiaruii, new species, most closely resembles Upogebia baweana Tirmizi & Kazmi, 1979 but differs markedly in having two smooth, strong transverse carinae on the dorsal surface of the telson. Upogebia ruiyui, new species, most closely resembles Upogebia allspachi Sakai, 2006 but differs markedly in having two transverse denticulate carinae on the dorsal surface of the telson and without sharp upper spine on the propodus of pereopod 1.
