Liu, X. Xu, and Z. T. Zhang.   Paratypes Two females (XUX-2013-153/154) collected at the same locality, 10 July 2013; collected by F.X. Liu, X. Xu, and Z. T. Zhang. No male found.  Etymology ‘Xianyou’ refers to the typelocality of this species.  Diagnosis Females of  G. xianyouensis sp. nov.can be distinguished from all other  Ganthelaspeciesby details of   Figure 7.  Ganthela wangjiangensisXu, Kuntner & Liu  sp. nov.A, B, female genitalia (XUX-2013-159).
