摘要

Isohypsibius archangajensis Kaczmarek & Michalczyk, 2004 is reported as a newly recorded species from China. Diphascon (Adropion) linzhiensis, new species is similar to D. (Adropion) mauceii Dastych & McInnes, 1996, and D. (Adropion) tricuspidatum Binda & Pilato, 2000, but differs from them by the presence of microplacoid and septulum together, instead of only septulum present in D. (A.) mauccii and only microplacoid present in D. (A.) tricuspidatum. The absence of cuticular bars on the legs and the shorter claws distinguishes this new species from the Australian D. gordonense Pilato, Claxton & Horning, 1991.
