| The present study described the shrimp of the family Alpheidae based on about 600 specimens deposited in the Marine Biological Museum,Chinese Academy of Sciences(MBMCAS)in Qindao.The specimens were collected from China seas,including the Bohai Sea,the Yellow Sea,the East and South China Sea.Materials was collected by the National Comprehensive Oceanographic Survey(1958–1960),the China-Vietnam Comprehensive Oceanographic Survey of the Tonkin Gulf(1959–1960,1962),the China-Japan Joint Investigation of the Hainan Island(1997),the China-Germany Joint Investigation of the Hainan Island(1990,1992),the CAS Xisha Islands Marine Biological Investigation(1956–1985)and the CAS Nansha Islands Multi-discipllinary Investigation(1985,1987–2000).Based on the historical materials deposited in the MBMCAS,a total of 60 species belonging to 12 genera are identified,including 8 new species,2 China seas newly recorded genera,10 China seas newly recorded species.All species are described,illustrated and photographed.The keys of 12 genera are provided.The Synalpheus Spence Bate,1888 is the second most species genus in the Alpheidae,about 170 species has been described worldwide.Thirty one species of Synalpheus are described and illustrated in the paper,including 4 new species as following: S.brevrostrus Wang and sha,2015;S.jinqingensis Wang and Sha,2015;S.liui Wang and Sha,2015;S.tonkinensis Wang and Sha,2015.The Automate De Man,1888 has been reported 9 species worldwide,and 2 new species are described herein: A.anacanthopusoides Wang and Sha,2017;A.spinosa Wang and Sha,2017.Another 2 new species of the Aretopsis De Man,1910 are described in the paper: A.demani sp.nov.and A.xishaensis sp.nov..With or without the caudal appendix was ever taken as sexual dimorphism,and the segment number of the caudal appendix was taken as the interspecific difference in the Stenalpheops Miya,1997;Chelomalpheus Kim,1998 and the Cavipelta Hayashi,1998.However,the abundant materials indicate that the absence or presence of the caudal appendix is should be used to differentiate species,so the original Stenalpheops anacanthus Miya,1997 actually is two valid species.Additionally,the segment number of the caudal appendix(2–13)is intraspecific variation in the Stenalpheops.Thus,the species which was established according to the difference of the segment number of the caudal appendix should be taken as an synonym.Two newly recorded genera Bermudacaris Anker and Iliff,2000 and Thuylamea Nguyên,2001 are found in the present specimens.Bermudacaris was established from the Bermuda Islands,the Atlantic at first,then it was found from the Australia and Vietnam,the present specimens was collected from the Yellow Sea.The Thuylamea was established from the Vietnam,the present the specimens was collected from Guangdong,the South China Sea.Moreover,the paper added the characters of the female to the type species of the Thuylamea.All species concerned in the study are listed as follows: those with an asterisk“*” are recorded for the first time from Chinese waters,“**” new species,“***” new combination.Family Alpheidae Rafinesque,1815 1)Genus
