Abstract

Watanabesaruzo yunnanensis sp. nov. is described from Yunnan Province, China. It is a peculiar species of Watanabesaruzo Yoshitake et Yamauchi and represents a new record for the genus in China. The genus Watanabesaruzo was erected by Yoshitake and Yamauchi (2002) based on two species, W. taimeii and W. malayanus. A key to the three species is presented. The type specimen is deposited in the Institute of Zoology, Chinese Academy of Sciences in Beijing, China.
