Sinella transoculata Pan & Yuan, 2013

Figs 55–56

Type locality. China, Zhejiang, Zhuji.

Material examined. Holotype; two females on slides, China: Fujian Province: Sanming City: Guanzhuang National Forestry Farm, alt. 707 m, 26.5°N, 117.716674°E, 17.ix.2014, DY YU leg. (# Sanming 9-2).

Remarks. S. transoculata is the only species with two eyes arranged in a transverse row in China. The new collected specimens from Fujian agree well with the original description in most characters; however, our specimens have a minor tooth on unguiculus outer edge ( Fig. 55 ) and 7 smooth clypeal chaetae arranged in three rows (2, 3, 3) ( Fig. 56 ).
