- Abstract
Nheena n. gen. is established to accommodate the Madagascan freshwater crab Hydrothelphusa vencesi Cumberlidge, Marijnissen & Thompson, 2007 that was formerly included in Hydrothelphusa A. Milne-Edwards, 1872. In addition, N. museonatora n. sp. and N. artiaregina n. sp. are established and these new taxa are recognized based on a combination of morphological characters and previous molecular data; are all illustrated. The three species assigned to Nheena n. gen. are compared with each other and with other species of freshwater crabs found in Madagascar, and a map of their distribution is included.
