Abstract

Gateria myriosetosa (Wang) and Gateria chekiangensis (Chu) were redescribed in this paper. Both species were collected in the mountain area of Zhejiang (Chekiang) province, China. Re-examinations of the type specimens revealed that both are characterized by fT=4B, fp=B.B.NNB, broad tongue-shaped scutum with almost straight posterior margin, PPL as much as 19 or 24 in number and last pair of PPL marginal. The two species differ by the distribution of the PPLs on scutum, number and length of body setae.
