Abstract

The genus Pseudachorutes is recorded for the first time from China, with three new species: P. lishanensis, P. jianxiucheni and P. wandae, all of them are from LiShan Mountain, Shaan Xi Province, Northwest China. Pseudachorutes lishanensis n. sp. is easy to distinguish, having two kinds of setae (macrosetae and microsetae) and mandible with three teeth. Pseudachorutes jianxiucheni n. sp. has 11–15 vesicles in the postantennal organ, mandible with 4–5 teeth, a relatively small body size, and tenent hair on tibiotarsi. Pseudachorutes wandae n. sp. has minute body setae and long sensorial setae; postantennal organ composed of 16–18 simple vesicles, and very small size. The new taxa are described and illustrated.
