Abstract

A new species of Collembola, Pseudachorutes cheni sp. nov. from Zhejiang Province, China, is described. It is close to P. andrei Weiner & Najt, 1985 from Korea and P. anomalus Imms, 1912 from India. However, it could be easily distinguished from them and from other members of the genus by the structure of mandible, maxilla, postantennal organ, unguis and dorsal chaetotaxy of abdomen.
