), for his enthusiastic contribution and support to the knowledge of Northern
China
soil and cave biodiversity.

Description
BODY. Length
6.5–6.9 mm
in females;
3.9 mm
in one juvenile. Epicuticle smooth under optical microscope but well reticulated under high magnifications as one can see irregular polygonal structures of variable sizes with scattered external glands either visible or covered with secretion (
Figs 51, 53
); body with smooth clothing setae.
HEAD. Antennae broken in all specimens; central antennomeres with two whorls of distal barbed macrosetae and uneven short setae; in addition, with single distal whorl of up to 8–12 gouge sensilla of
22–29 µm
long (
Fig. 51
) and among them one or two small coniform sensilla (
5 µm
long). Proximal antennomeres with typical trichobothria disposition with bacilliform sensillum (
9–10 µm
long) on third antennomere in ventral position, between
c–d
macrosetae (
Fig. 52
). Plain frontal process with one anterior macrosetae, longer than clothing setae. Three macrosetae along each side of insertion line of antennomere and
x
setae with length ratios of
a
/
i
/
p
/
x
, 42/55/42/45, respectively, in
holotype
(
Fig. 54
). Large suboval labial palps, each with enlarged coniform latero-external sensillum near two
gard
setae and eight normal setae on anterior portion, up to 150 neuroglandular setae in medial and posterior positions.
THORAX. Thoracic macrosetae distribution: pronotum has 1+1
ma
, 1+1
la
, 1+1
lp
macrosetae; mesonotum has 1+1
ma
, 1+1
la
and 2+2
lp
macrosetae; and metanotum has 1+1
ma
and 1+1
lp
macrosetae. Long macrosetae with long barbs in distal three-fourths; marginal setae longer than clothing setae, which are barbed from distal half to three-fourths. Legs elongated, metathoracic legs reach posterior border of seventh abdominal segment. Mesothoracic and metathoracic femora have one dorsal macroseta each, barbed along distal three-fourths (
Fig. 55
), absent in prothoracic femora. Calcars with two or three long barbs in middle (
Fig. 56
). Prothoracic and mesothoracic tibia with one short ventral macrosetae with one apical barb and two in metathoracic tibia (
Fig. 57
). Each tarsus with two separated ventral rows of thicker and longer setae among clothing setae, and a few setiform sensilla (
Fig. 58
). Three long smooth dorsal tarsal and one ventral setae. Subequal elbowed claws with smooth ventral surface ridged on dorsal side that can be mistaken for lateral crests under optical microscopes, between a blunt unguiculus and without lateral processes (
Figs 59–60
).
ABDOMEN. Distribution of abdominal macrosetae on tergites (
Fig. 61
shows 1+1
ma
on III in the
paratype
from Grotte du Pylone, but absent in Xianren Dong Cave types; 1+1
ma

and 3+3

on VIII and 1+1

and 5+5
lp
on IX abdominal;
ma
and
la
macrosetae with barbs in distal half to one third and shorter than
mp
and
lp
macrosetae, which bear long barbs along distal four-fifths. Urosternite I with 7+7 macrosetae (
Fig. 62
); urosternites II to VII with 4+4 macrosetae (
Fig. 63
); urosternite VIII with 1+1 macrosetae (
Fig. 64
); urosternal macrosetae of varying lengths, with one apical to twenty distal long barbs. Stylus setae smooth, apical and subapical setae shorter than ventromedial seta (
Fig. 63
).
Figs 51‒54.

Taxonomic affinities
Pacificampa wudonghuii
sp. nov.
shares with
P. birsteini
Chevrizov, 1978
,
P. caesa
Chevrizov, 1978
and
P. nipponica
Sendra, 2018
the same distribution of notal macrosetae (1+1 medial anterior, 1+1 lateral anterior, and 1+1 lateral posterior macrosetae on pronotum; 1+1 medial anterior, 1+1 lateral anterior, and 2+2 lateral posterior macrosetae on mesonotum; and 1+1 medial anterior and 1+1 lateral anterior macrosetae on metanotum). An undescribed species mentioned by
Ferguson (1997)
from northeastern
China
also has this setal distribution. However,
P. wudonghuii
sp. nov.
differs from other species of
Pacificampa
in having 1+1 medial anterior, 1+1 lateral anterior, and 2+2 lateral posterior macrosetae on the fourth urotergite (
Fig. 61
), a pattern distribution that begins on the fifth urotergite for the other species. In addition, the larger male appendages have more abundant glandular
a
1
setae in
P
.
wudonghuii
sp. nov.
(
Fig. 62
) than in the other species of
Pacificampa
.
