Abstract
- Torrenticola wuyiensis Gu & Guo sp. nov. urn:lsid:zoobank.org:act: 69E7FE0A-89D6-4CF0-8E20-7E007FA65B62 Figs 9–12 Diagnosis Idiosoma elliptical; dorsal plate arrangement: 2+2p+1, posterior pair of anterior platelets half fused to dorsal plate; infracapitular bay wide U-shaped; E 4 on same line with 5 th pair of acetabula. Etymology This new species is named after Wuyishan (Wuyi Mountain), where the new species was collected. Material examined Holotype China • ♂; Wuyishan; 27°44′24″ N, 117°41′18″ E, 860 m a.s.l.; 2 Aug. 2018; X.Y. Gu leg.; FJ- TO-20180807.

Distribution China (Wuyishan). Habitat Streamlet. Remarks This new species is similar to Torrenticola ussuriensis (Sokolow, 1940) in the shape of the palp and dorsal plates,. T. ussuriensis was originally described by Sokolow (1934) from the Primory Territory in the Russian Far East, and later reported from River Inôzava in Japan (Enami 1940), and from Korea (Pešić et al. 2013). Differences between T. wuyiensis and T. ussuriensis are given in Table 1.
