Echiniscus nepalensis Dastych, 1975 (Fig. 2A)

Material examined: Six specimens were collected from Mount Taibai at 3,720 m a.s.l.

Description: Eyespots present. Cuticular sculpture consists of many small polygonal depressions distributed irregularly, varying in size. Median plate III absent.

Remarks: Our specimens are different from the specimens from the Himalayas by the second median plate transversely divided into a smooth anterior part and a posterior part decorated with the usual sculpture. The type locality of this species is the Himalayas, Nepal (Dastych, 1975). It was also collected in some localities of New Zealand (Ramazzotti & Maucci, 1983). It has never been reported from China before.
