Remarks.
The characters of the habitus and the gonopods of this species are shown in
Figs 26–27
.
Sellanucheza
is a small genus containing six species distributed in
China
(three species in
Sichuan
,
Chongqing
and
Shaanxi
) and northern
Vietnam
. The generic name has been changed from
Szechuanella
Hoffman, 1961
to the anagram
Sellanucheza
because of preoccupation (
Enghoff
et al
. 2004
), and the original name refers to
Sichuan Province
,
China
. The
type
locality of
S. jaegeri
is in Houzhenzi,
Shaanxi
, about
400 km
from Yintiaoling. Further investigation of the actual distribution range of this species is needed, especially on some areas of south slope of Qinling Mountains.
