Etymology.
" raoi " (in apposition) refers to Lieutenant General Shoukun Rao, who made immortal achievements in the Chinese People’s War of Resistance against Japanese Aggression and the War of Liberation.
Ecology.
Found in the leaf litter.
Remarks.
The three new species are very similar in overall chaetotaxy, colour pattern and other characters. The chaetotaxy of each studied specimen is listed in Table 1 View Table 1 , and the differences between these three species are slight. One main difference in chaetotaxy is that Abd. I has 7(8), 11, 8-9 mac in C. (J.) xinjianensis sp. nov., C. (J.) tongguensis sp. nov. and C. (J.) raoi sp. nov., respectively. Another difference is p2p mac on Th. II is absent in C. (J.) xinjianensis sp. nov., but present in the latter two new species. One main difference in colour pattern between them is that only the lateral side of the head is brown pigmented in C. (J.) xinjianensis sp. nov., and C. (J.) tongguensis sp. nov., but almost the entire head is brown in C. (J.) raoi sp. nov. The brown pigment on the ventral tube is present anteriorly in C. (J.) xinjianensis sp. nov., absent in C. (J.) tongguensis sp. nov. and present almost entirely in C. (J.) raoi sp. nov.
The subgenus Callyntrura Japonphysa contains four species at present: C. (J.) japonica (Kinoshita, 1917), C. (J.) oligosetosa Kim, Rojanavongse & Lee, 1999, C. (J.) semilineata Yosii, 1961 and C. (J.) unilineata Yosii, 1961. The differences between the three new species and the four known species are great, especially in chaetotaxy of body (Table 2 View Table 2 ).
Molecular results
Sequenced individuals in the present study had a mean K2-P distance of COI sequences between 0.190-0.197 (about 19%). The shortest interspecific distance was 0.190 between C. tongguensis sp. nov. and C. raoi sp. nov. and the longest was 0.197 between C. tongguensis sp. nov. and C. xinjianensis sp. nov. (Table 3 View Table 3 ). Therefore, the interspecific distances of COI between the three new species were more than the accepted barcoding gap recently reported for the species of Entomobryidae ( Zhang et al. 2018b) and Tomoceridae ( Yu et al. 2018). The molecular distances coincided with the morphological divergences, thus further supporting the distinction of the three species.
