Abstract

Three new species of Coecobrya are described from southern and northwest China. C. draconis sp. nov. from Guangxi cave shows some troglomorphic features, such as the inner ungual teeth inserted basally. C. xui sp. nov. is similar to C. huangi and differs from the latter by head and tergal chaetotaxy. C. qin sp. nov. is the second member of the genus with 3+3 eyes, but cannot be assigned to either the tenebricosa- or boneti-groups because it has eyes and a large outer tooth on unguiculus.
