Doryphoribius taiwanus
Li & Li, 2008
Material examined.
One moss sample from Site 5 yielded two specimens.
Remarks.
These specimens were smaller than the
type
specimens. The presence of transverse crests, expanded claw bases, and cuticular tubercles were consistent with the description of this species. The
pt
values for the buccal tube diameter and macroplacoids were approximately those of
paratype
2, which was smaller than the
holotype
(
Li & Li 2008
). This is the first record for mainland
China
.
