Beschreibungen/Notizen

• A new species of Dalyelliidae, Wang and You, is described based on material collected in southern China through an integrative approach combining morphological, histological, and molecular (18S and 28S rDNA) data. sp. nov. is morphologically characterized by a fan-shaped (about 270° when pressed) stylet, consisting of 13 similar distal spines and a broad girdle without fenestrae region. This stylet is distinct from that of any other similar species in the Aequales group to which this species belongs. In addition, specimens identifiable as Van Steenkiste, Van Mulken, and Artois, 2012 were discovered from the same location as sp. nov. has previously been known only from India; the present study thus represents the first record of the species from China.
