Treatment

Material examined. One moss sample from Site 5 yielded two specimens.

Remarks. These specimens were smaller than the type specimens. The presence of transverse crests, expanded claw bases, and cuticular tubercles were consistent with the description of this species. The pt values for the buccal tube diameter and macroplacoids were approximately those of paratype 2, which was smaller than the holotype ( Li & Li 2008). This is the first record for mainland China.
