A new epigean species of Trichopeltis Pocock, 1894 from southwest China (Diplopoda, Polydesmida, Cryptodesmidae)

A new species of Cryptodesmidae, <i>Trichopeltisjiyue</i> <b>sp. nov.</b>, is described from the Ailaoshan National Nature Reserve in Yunnan Province, southwest China. The new species is distinguished from its congeners by the gonopodal coxae with two conspicuous wing-like processes, the relatively long, stout setae on the gonopodal coxae, gonopodal telopodites glabrous and four-branched, and the acropodite curved caudolaterad. The new species is the second record of an epigean species of genus <i>Trichopeltis</i> Pocock, 1894 in China. An updated key is provided to all 14 presently known species.

Abstract

A new species of Cryptodesmidae, <i>Trichopeltisjiyue</i> <b>sp. nov.</b>, is described from the Ailaoshan National Nature Reserve in Yunnan Province, southwest China. The new species is distinguished from its congeners by the gonopodal coxae with two conspicuous wing-like processes, the relatively long, stout setae on the gonopodal coxae, gonopodal telopodites glabrous and four-branched, and the acropodite curved caudolaterad. The new species is the second record of an epigean species of genus <i>Trichopeltis</i> Pocock, 1894 in China. An updated key is provided to all 14 presently known species.
