Cnipsomorpha erinacea Hennemann, Conle, Zhang & Liu, 2008. Distribution. Guangxi, Yunnan, China. Note. The two new species small to medium in size. Spinose. Apterous. The head is round or rectangular, with spines. Occiput raised, with spines. The antennae are short, shorter than the femoral segment of the forelegs, with distinct segments. Thoracic spines or tubercles. Pronotum is nearly trapezoidal. Meso- and metapleurae with small spines. Abdomen cylindrical, with triangular extension posterolaterally of abdominal terga II-VII in females, inconspicuous in males. In females, the sternum VII has an distinct praeopercular organ, the posterior edge of the anal segment is slightly concave, and the male's 10th abdominal segment is dorsally divided into two semi-tergites. This combination of characteristics distinguishes it from species of other genera and determines that the new taxa belong to Cnipsomorpha .
