Abstract

The genus Gnathospinosa Liao & Huang, gen. nov., belonging to the subfamily Euplocaminae, is described with a new species G. qinlingensis Liao & Huang, sp. nov. from China as its type species. The new species was illustrated with photographs of the adults and male genitalia. A preliminary phylogenetic study based on mitochondrial cytochrome c oxidase subunit I gene (co1) sequence data of the new species and Psecadioides cuneus are presented.
