Abstract
A new species of Chelidura Latreille, 1825 (Dermaptera: Forficulidae), Chelidura gansuensis sp. nov., collected from Jiutianshimen Mountain, Gansu Province, China, is described and illustrated based on male and female adults. Chelidura gansuensis sp. nov. is characterized by the strongly undulating forceps bearing giant dorsal and ventral tubercles. The morphological comparison is made between the new species and the similar species Chelidura semenovi (Bey-Bienko, 1934). The types localities of Chelidura species from China are clarified. An updated key to Chinese species of Chelidura is also provided.
期刊介绍:
The Journal of Asia-Pacific Biodiversity (previous title was Journal of Korean Nature) is an official journal of National Science Museum of Korea (NSMK) and Korea National Arboretum (KNA). The scope of journal is wide and multidisciplinary that publishes original research papers, review articles, as well as conceptual, technical and methodological papers on all aspects of biological diversity-its description, analysis and conservation, and its application by humankind. This wide and multidisciplinary journal aims to provide both scientists and practitioners in conservation theory, policy and management with comprehensive and applicable information. However, papers should not be submitted that deal with microorganisms, except in invited paper. Articles that are focused on the social and economical aspects of biodiversity will be normally not accepted.
