摘　　要：The male of Candacia varicans Giesbrecht, 1892 from the South China Sea was recorded and described. In general, the male of C. varicans is morphologically similar to those of C. arrnata and C. curta. However, it is distinguished with them by below several morphological characters： （1） posterolateral corners of the fifth thoracic segment prominently sharp and symmetrical; （2） right side of posterior edge of genital segment with a small backward protuberance; and （3） the dorsal surface of the third segment of the fifth pereiopod with a squamashaped protuberance.The male of Candacia varicans Giesbrecht, 1892 from the South China Sea was recorded and described.
