Abstract

Hypogastrura gracilis Folsom is redescribed from cotypes and Chinese specimens, and a lectotype and 4 paralectotypes are designated. Specimens referable to Ceratophysella adexilis Stach are described. Ceratophysella quinidentis (Jia, Shi & Chen) is reevaluated from type specimens and recognized as a new junior synonym of C. duplicispinosa (Yosii).
