Type
species.
Potamon ubon
Ng & Naiyanetr, 1993
, by original designation.
Remarks.
Setosamon
Yeo & Ng, 2007
, now includes three species, namely
S. somchaii
(
Ng & Naiyanetr, 1993
)
,
S. ubon
(
Ng & Naiyanetr, 1993
)
, and
S. sakon
,
new species
(see below).
Setosamon
species
are characterised by the nearly confluent epigastric and postorbital cristae, shallow sternopleonal cavity, broadly triangular male pleon, coarse setae on the third maxillipeds and ambulatory legs, and broad, well developed dorsal flap on the G1 terminal segment. In this respect,
Setosamon
shares many similarities in carapace morphology with
Pilosamon
Ng, 1996
. However,
Setosamon
can be easily differentiated from
Pilosamon
in the G1 terminal segment being subcylindrical with its distal tip bluntly rounded and with a relatively low and swollen dorsal flap (versus G1 terminal segment subconical, tip pointed with relatively high, flat dorsal flap in
Pilosamon
); and the groove for the G2 being dorsal (sternal) in position (versus groove for G2 marginal, mesial in position in
Pilosamon
) (
