Abstract

The family Karschiidae Kraepelin, 1899 was reported for the first time from Gansu Province, China. A total of three species were identified based on morphological and molecular data, including one described species, Eusimonia turkestana Kraepelin, 1899, and two new species, Eusimonia dentapicalis sp. nov., and Karschia (Rhinokarschia) liui sp. nov.
