A new species of Tullbergiidae, Paratullbergia chuana sp. nov. from Sichuan Province, southwest China is described. Paratullbergia chuana is characterised by the presence of one pair of pseudocelli on each segment from Th. I–Abd. V and a formula of 11/111/11111, postantennal organ composed by 34–50 vesicles arranged in two rows, seta px present on Abd. IV, setae a2 and a4 on Abd. V as macrosetae, p4 as mesoseta, and a less differentiated sensillum p3 on Abd. V. In addition, chaetotaxic variations on Abd. IV and V are discussed. An abnormal morphology of an antenna that was observed for the first time is reported.

A New Species

Scutellaria wuana, a new species discovered from a xeric valley in Muli County of Sichuan Province in southwest China, is described and illustrated. Morphologically, the new species shares similarities withS. mairei, but can be readily distinguished by a suite of morphological characters including a white-pubescent erect stem, conspicuous leaf petioles, and a yellow corolla with a trapeziform lower-middle lip lobe. The habitat and distribution ofS. wuanaare also distinctive. The position of the new species withinScutellariais examined in a phylogenetic context using the nuclear ribosomal internal and external transcribed spacers. Additionally, we examine leaf epidermal and pollen grain micromorphology of the new species and putative relatives.

Four species of the araneid spider genus Eriovixia are reported from the Gaoligong Mountains (Yunnan Province, southwest China), including a new species: Eriovixia sticta n. sp., and three known species: E. excelsa (Simon, 1889), E. pseudocentrodes (Bösenberg & Strand, 1906) and E. yunnanensis (Yin et al., 1990). E. excelsa is first recorded from Chinese Mainland, while the males of both E. pseudocentrodes and E. yunnanensis are described for the first time, and the male of E. pseudocentrodes described before is actually the male of E. sticta n. sp. Distributional data and illustrations of somatic and genitalic morphology are provided. The differences between these four species and related taxa are discussed.

A New Species

A new species of the genus Lemaireia Nässig & Holloway, 1988 (Lepidoptera: Saturniidae: Saturniinae: Saturniini), L. daparo sp. n., is described from evergreen broad-leaf forests in Panzhihua (Sichuan), Qujing (Yunnan) and Dali (Yunnan) of China. The new species resembles L. luteopeplus aureopeplus Nässig & Holloway, 1988 and L. hainana Nässig & Wang, 2006 from China, but can be easily separated from them by the male genitalia. In addition, the genus Lemaireia is reported here for the first time from Sichuan Province, and now its distribution range reached the northeastern extreme point. The habitus, diagnostic characters and distribution map of the three species of the genus Lemaireia from China are provided. A list of all Lemaireia species presently known worldwide is also given.

A New Species

A new species of the natricine snake genus Hebius Thompson, 1913 is described from Sichuan Province, Southwest China, based on a single male specimen. The new species is distinguished from its congeners found in China and adjacent regions by possessing the following combination of characters: 1) TL/SVL ratio 0.35; 2) three postoculars; 3) six temporals in formula 1/(1+1) +1+2; 4) eight supralabials, 4th and 5th in contact with the eye, 6th supralabial largest; 5) ten infralabials with the first five bordering the anterior chinshields; 6) 172 ventrals (plus two preventrals); 7) cloacal plate divided; 8) 90 divided subcaudals; 9) dorsal scales in 19-19-17 rows, all weakly keeled except the outer two; 10) reduction of dorsal scale rows from 19 to 17 at the position above ventral scale 99th; 11) reduction of the tail dorsal scales from 8 to 6 rows at the position above 18th subcaudal, and from 6 to 4 rows at the position above 37th subcaudal; 12) postorbital bones do not touch frontals, the parietal ridge weakly developed; the end of the supratemporal bones extending beyond the braincase; maxillary teeth 23–25, the last two enlarged, without diastema between them and the anterior teeth. This species is an evergreen forest dweller.

The subgenus Antennoseius (Vitzthumia) Thor, 1930 is recorded from China for the first time by description of a new species, Antennoseius (Vitzthumia) heterochaetus Long and Yi n. sp. that was collected from leaf litter of subtropical forest in Sichuan Province, China. The new species can be distinguished from other members of the subgenus by podonotal shield with four pairs of spur-like setae (j2–j4, z2), j1 short and barbed distally, setae av1 on trochanters III and IV slightly swollen with fine distal tip. The holotype of Antennoseius ningxiaensis Bai and Ma, 2006 was examined and because the leg I avoid pretarsus and claws and also tibia III bear eight setae, the species distinguished as a member of the subgenus Antennoseius (Antennoseius). A key to Chinese species of the genus Antennoseius is given.
