Anal plate linguiform, glabrous, 2.0 times longer than broad, lateral margins concave in anterior part, posterior margin with three small lobes; two pairs of appendages present: inner one tiny and conical; outer one cylindrical and longer, (0.4-) 0.5 of the length of plate and with short pubescence (Figs 1G View Figure 1 , 2L View Figure 2 ).
Etymology.
The species is named after China where the type specimens were collected.
Distribution.
China (Jiangsu). Only known from the type locality.
Remarks.
Colinauropus chinensis sp. nov. is most similar to C. haginoi Scheller, 2009 from Philippines in the similar shape of the anal plate and absence of sclerotized plates on tergite I. They can be easily distinguished by the number of sclerotized plates on tergites II and VI (6 and 2 in C. chinensis sp. nov., vs. 8 and 4 in C. haginoi ), length of setae on collum segment (sublateral setae 1.9-2.0 times as long as submedian setae in C. chinensis sp. nov. vs. 3.2 times in C. haginoi ), and the shape of T 3 (subcylindrical, not clavate in C. chinensis sp. nov. vs. proximal half distinctly clavate in C. haginoi ).
