Abstract
A new species of the Ceratophysella denticulata group is described from Shanxi province, China. Because of the presence of prolonged empodial appendages and reduced number of setae on dens C. taiguensis sp. nov. resembles: C. kapoviensis Babenko, 1994, C. kutyrevae Babenko, 1994, C. robustiseta Skarżyński & Smolis, 2006, C. sedecimocellata (Yosii, 1962) and C. vargovychi Skarżyński et al., 2001. A checklist of the Ceratophysella Börner, 1932 species hitherto recorded from China is also given. The present list contains 14 species, including C. anshanensis (Wu & Xie, 2007) comb. nov., C. quinidentis (Jia et al., 2005) comb. nov., C. xiaoi (Tamura, 1998) comb. nov., C. yinae (Yue & Fu, 2000) comb. nov. and C. zhangi (Zhao, 1998) comb. nov.References
