Summary:The present study reports on the stomatopods collected by a joint survey of the Zhujiang estuary between Hong Kong and mainland China during 1992 to 1995. The collection comprises 254 specimens representing 1 superfamily, 2 families, 7 genera, and 9 species. Among these, Clorida decorata Wood-Mason, 1875 and Harpiosquilla raphidea (Fabricius, 1798) are new records for the area. Cloridopsis aquilonaris Manning, 1978, is synonymized with C. scorpio (Latreille, 1828). All nine species are illustrated and a diagnostic key to the species known from southern China between Macau and Hong Kong is provided. /// Cette étude porte sur des stomatopodes pêchés de 1992 à 1995 dans l'estuaire de Zhujiang entre Hongkong et la Chine.

Parmi celles-ci, Clorida decorata Wood-Mason, 1875 et Harpiosquilla raphidea (Fabricius, 1798) sont signalées pour la première fois dans cette region. Cloridopsis aquilonaris Manning, 1978 est mis en synomymie avec C. scorpio (Latreille, 1828).
