The genus Confusacris Yin & Li, 1987 belongs to Acrididae: Chrysochraontinae with 4 described species. It is readily distinguished from the related genera as follows: the antennae sharply ensiform, especially in the female; elytra of male with irregular quadrilateral cell, and the apex of the elytra being concave; lateral carinae of pronotum distinct or more distinct; first segment of hind tarsus longer than third one distinctly. All species of the genus are distributed in northern China. A new species, Confusacris xinjiangensis Wang & Zheng sp. n. is described in this paper. A key to the known species of the genus is given.

A new species of Spionidae, Scolelepis (Scolelepis) daphoinos sp. nov., is described and illustrated from northern China seas. The species was frequently encountered and highly abundant on sand beaches, but rarely found in subtidal areas. It was formerly misidentified as S. (S.) squamata (Müller, 1806) in China but differed from the latter species in several details in morphology, including the presence of obvious reddish pigmentation patches and the absence of unidentate hooded hooks. Another two Scolelepis species, S. (S.) lingulata Imajima, 1992 and S. (S.) variegata Imajima, 1992, are reported for the first time from Chinese waters. Two species of Scolelepis, S. (S.) globosa Wu & Chen, 1964 and S. (S.) lefebvrei (Gravier, 1905), were reported previously; therefore, five species in this genus are known from China in total. A key to all Scolelepis species from Chinese waters is provided.

A new species Stiltoblosyrus serratulus Davidian, sp. nov. is described from Sichuan Province of China. It is the northernmost species of the genus Stiltoblosyrus (Davidian, 2020). From all of the congeners it easily differs in row of large and stout spines at the inner side of hind tibia of the male. New species closely related to S. laticollis Davidian, 2020 and S. brevicornis Davidian, 2020 in size of the process at the inner apical angle of hind tibia of the male, which is distinctly shorter than 2nd segment of hind tarsus. Colour illustrations of habitus and important morphological characters are presented.

Morphological and molecular analyses have determined that there is a new species of Tardigrada found in China. Diphascon wuyingensis sp. nov., has smooth cuticle, pharyngeal apophyses, three rod-shaped macroplacoids (increasing in length from first to third, with the second macroplacoid clearly longer than the first) and lacks microplacoids and septulum. The new species has a very small drop-shaped formation and small claws of the Hypsibius type, but no pseudolunules or other cuticular thickenings. Three individual specimens and a group of four specimens were used for DNA isolation and 18S rRNA and COI sequencing; the p-distances to another three Diphascon species used for comparison varied in ranges of 8.8–10.2% (18S rRNA) and 24.2–26.7% (COI).

A new species of the genus Austinogebia Ngoc-Ho, 2001, A. monospina n. sp., collected from the Bohai Sea and theYellow Sea, is described and illustrated. It is closely allied to A. spinifrons (Haswell, 1881) but differs markedly in the rostral ornamentation, with one infrarostral spine and the unarmed lower margin of antennal peduncle.
