Abstract:

Six species of the alpheid genus Salmoneus Holthuis, 1955, including five new species, are reported from Nhatrang Bay, southern Vietnam. Salmoneus nhatrangensis, new species, S. auroculatus, new species, S. falcidactylus, new species, and S. pusillus, new species, were collected under rocks on sand-mud bottoms at depths of 6-40 m. Salmoneus alpheophilus, new species and S rostratus Barnard, 1962 were collected on tidal flat from burrows of Alpheus with gobies. The affinities of the new species to other Indo-West Pacific and Atlantic species are discussed. All species are illustrated. Salmoneus is preliminarily divided into seven species groups.
