Tonkori in the Upper Guinea rainforest in C\u00f4te d\u2019Ivoire, West Africa is described. Liberonautes constantini n. sp. is morphologically distinct from other species of this genus found in C\u00f4te d\u2019Ivoire and the neighboring countries. The new species is recognised by a unique combination of morphological characters of the carapace, thoracic sternum, major cheliped, and adult male first gonopod. Illustrations of L. constantini n. sp. are provided and differences from congeners found elsewhere in West Africa are discussed. The addition of L. constantini n. sp. raises the number of species of freshwater crabs known to occur in C\u00f4te d\u2019Ivoire to seven. An updated checklist and key are provided to the Ivorian species of freshwater crabs, and their conservation status is discussed. \u00a0<\/jats:p>","DOI":"10.11646\/zootaxa.5278.1.5","type":"journal-article","created":{"date-parts":[[2023,5,3]],"date-time":"2023-05-03T23:54:56Z","timestamp":1683158096000},"page":"119-130","source":"Crossref","is-referenced-by-count":0,"title":["A checklist and key to the Ivorian freshwater crabs, with the description of a new species of Liberonautes Bott, 1955 (Brachyura: Potamoidea: Potamonautidae)"],"prefix":"10.11646","volume":"5278","author":[{"ORCID":"https:\/\/orcid.org\/0000-0002-0568-6414","authenticated-orcid":false,"given":"NEIL","family":"CUMBERLIDGE","sequence":"first","affiliation":[],"role":[{"role":"author","vocabulary":"crossref"}]},{"ORCID":"https:\/\/orcid.org\/0000-0001-6785-9555","authenticated-orcid":false,"given":"REBECCA L.","family":"FITCH","sequence":"additional","affiliation":[],"role":[{"role":"author","vocabulary":"crossref"}]},{"ORCID":"https:\/\/orcid.org\/0000-0002-2122-4754","authenticated-orcid":false,"given":"PAUL F.","family":"CLARK","sequence":"additional","affiliation":[],"role":[{"role":"author","vocabulary":"crossref"}]}],"member":"4913","published-online":{"date-parts":[[2023,5,4]]},"reference":[{"key":"191372","doi-asserted-by":"crossref","unstructured":"Aka, N.A., Adoubryn, K., Rondelaud, D. & Dreyfuss, G.
