Nagler et al., 2014: 407–410 , figs. 2–4. Material examined Two females (ECNU20140914/TT34; ECNU20140907/TT35) dissected. Dimensions (Female, n = 3) Length, 1.20–1.33 mm ; height, 0.51–0.53 mm ; width, 0.33 mm . Brief description Female , in lateral view, both anterior and posterior ends widely rounded. Maximum height anterior of mid-length. Dorsal margin straight. Posterior area with ‘roof-tile’-like structure. In internal view, postero-ventral margin slightly sinuous. A1 seven-segmented, with Rome and Wouters organs; first segment with one dorsal seta. Natatory setae of A2 long, just reaching or slightly exceeding tips of terminal claws. Seta β on Md short and hirsute, basally inflated, tapering distally. Two large bristles on third masticatory lobe of Mx1 slightly toothed. L6 fivesegmented, two hirsute setae d present on basal segment, seta d1 slightly longer than seta d2 , seta e slightly exceeding end of next segment. L7 four-segmented, three setae d present on basal segment. Both claws on UR with well-developed serration. Claw Gp equalling onehalf length of claw Ga . Seta Sa equalling three-quarters length of claw Ga . Seta Sp brush-like, with setae distally. UR attachment stout, curved stem with triangular Triebel’ s loop distally. UR attachment with strong, curved dorsal branch and thick and short ventral branch. Figure 12. (a, b) Tanycypris alfonsi Nagler et al., 2014 . Female. (a) ECNU20140914/TT34, external view of LV; (b) ECNU20140914/TT34, internal view of RV. (c, d) Tanycypris centa Chang et al., 2012 . Female. (c) ECNU20140914/TT3601, external view of RV; (d) ECNU20140914/TT36, internal view of RV. Scale bars: 100 μm. Distribution This species has only been reported from South Korea ( Smith et al. 2015 ), and as an alien species in a botanical greenhouse in Germany ( Nagler et al. 2014 ). It is a new record for China . Remarks The seta Sp of our specimens is morphologically more similar to that of Tancypris pellucida than to that of specimens from Germany ( Nagler et al. 2014 ). The seta Sp on the UR of our specimens has a brush-like end ( Figure 13 ), and the one from Germany is slender, and this character has not been mentioned in Korean specimens ( Smith et al. 2015 ).
