Abstract

Qianaphaenops (Sanwangius) rowselli Tian et Chen, n. subgen., n. sp. is described from the Sanwang Dong-Erwang Dong cave system, northeastern Wulong, southern Chongqing, southwestern China. Sanwangius is markedly distinct by several important features from subgenera Qianaphaenops (s. str.) Uéno, 2000 and Tiankengius Tian et Huang, 2018. Larval characteristics of this new species are also provided. This is the first report of a Qianaphaenops species from Chongqing.
