Abstract

A new species Sichuana taiji sp. nov. is described from Sichuan, China. COI genes of Sichuana species were used to reconstruct the phylogenetic tree. The molecular results supported the validation of the new species. Types of the new species in this paper are preserved in the Museum of Biology, East China Normal University (ECNU).
