Material examined.

Liu GoogleMaps ; 1 female (CAU), China: Hainan Province, Lingshui County, Diaoluo Mountain , 1.VII.2011, 18°43'31.08"N, 109°52'8.4"E, 294 m, leg. W.H.

Description.
Female. (Fig. 4A, B View Figure 4 ) Pregenital plate on sternum 7 sclerotized, distally produced into strongly sclerotized triangular lobe with sinuous lateral margins, covered with long hairs; dorsoventrally flattened in lateral view. Sternum 8 with a trapezoid, transverse band across the posterior half of the segment.
Remarks.
Genetic distance refers to the genetic divergence between species and can be used to compare the genetic similarity between difference species ( Wang et al. 2013); generally, more than 98% of congeneric species or sister species pairs have greater than 0.02 sequence divergence ( Johns and Avise 1998; Hebert et al. 2003; Park et al. 2011). In our study, pairwise distances of the Rhopalopsole species were 0-0.9%; lower than the 2% threshold considered for a rough differentiation between intraspecific and interspecific distances ( Zhou et al. 2009). The genetic distance of COI between J66 and J61 is 0 and between J66 and J64 is 0.9% (Table 3 View Table 3 ). The combination of morphology and molecular data suggest the female is R. hainana .
We compared the holotype with the specimens from Baisha County, which originated from near the type locality. The hitherto unknown female resembles the female of R. bawanglinga , but the tip of the pregenital plate is not bilobed, and the transverse band on sternum 8 is more pronounced.
