Diagnosis
Andropromachus gulinqingensis sp. n. is similar to A. guangxiense (Chen & He, 2000), but can be distinguished by: ♀♀, middle size (body length> 50 mm), without spines between the compound eyes (Fig. 1 View Figure 1 C), abdominal tergites II-VIII: each segment armed with five spines (Fig. 1 View Figure 1 A, B, E and F), mesonotum with five pairs of spines on the sides of median longitudinal carina (Fig. 1 View Figure 1 A and B), anal segment with two strap-shaped bulges on posterolateral margin (Fig. 1 View Figure 1 E), all femora with distinct pointed serrations (Fig. 1 View Figure 1 A and B); ♂♂, without spines between the compound eyes, occipital with four spines (Fig. 2 View Figure 2 C), abdominal tergites II-VIII: each segment armed with three spines (Fig. 2 View Figure 2 A, B, E and F), all femora with distinct pointed serrations (Fig. 2 View Figure 2 A and B).
