Abstract

Grouvellinus huaxiensis sp. nov. was collected from Huaxi river in an urban setting of Guiyang (Guizhou, China) in 2021. Habitus and diagnostic features of the new species are described and illustrated herein. The new discovery reflects that the water quality and ecological stability of urban rivers is not necessarily in conflict with anthropogenic activities in the surrounding, which also provides us new insights into the protection of urban freshwater ecosystems.
