appears to be a common atyid species in Guangxi. It was found from four streams in the Jinxiu Yao Autonomous County, Laibin City and also found in Dahua Yao Autonomous County, Hechi City. The environment of the streams is very similar. The streams run through land that is covered by secondary forest, with rocks interspersed with patches of gravel at the bottom (Fig.
