摘要

A new genus Sinaxonopsis gen. nov. with a new species Sinaxonopsis unicucrus sp. nov. from China is described. Adults of the new genus are autapomorphic among Aturidae in having a large posterior dorsal plate and a pair of anterior plates, numerous cetabula scattered on their surfaces from both sides of the gonopore to posterolateral area, CxIV extending far laterally with a ridge, the third and fourth legs of male exhibiting sexual dimorphism with various modified setae, claws of male III-L-6 heteromorphic and modified, male IV-L-6 with thicker distal ends, and a pair of well-developed dorsal projections. The systematic status of the new genus is discussed. The new genus is tentatively assigned to Axonopsinae but it certainly is not closely related to any previously described genus.
