Abstract

The monotypic genus Chandleriella Hlaváč, 2000 is reported from China for the first time, and a new species, C. yunnanica Yin, sp. nov. (type locality: Lincang, Yunnan), is described. It can be readily separated from C. termitophila (Bryant, 1915) of Sarawak by possessing a conspicuously modified antennomere 11 of the male.
