Abstract:

Five new records of the family Xanthidae are reported from China: Hypocolpus haanii Rathbun, 1909, Neoliomera variolosa (A. Milne-Edwards, 1873), Leptodius australis Ward, 1936, L. davaoensis Ward, 1941, and Xanthias joanneae Mendoza, 2013. The specimens were collected from Hainan Island and deposited in the Marine Biological Museum, Chinese Academy of Sciences. Diagnosis based on observation, photographs, line drawings, and some taxonomic discussions are provided.

Key words: morphology|Xanthidae|new records|South China Sea|taxonomy
