The genus Tachycines contains two subgenera: T. (Tachycines) and T. (Gymnaeta), and the species of this genus occur mainly in Southeast and East Asia, including Myanmar, Philippines, Vietnam, India, and China. Many species of the subgenus Tachycines (Gymnaeta) are cavernicolous. In this study, five new cave species of this subgenus, namely Tachycines (Gymnaeta) lingulatus sp. nov., Tachycines (Gymnaeta) multispinus sp. nov., Tachycines (Gymnaeta) microtuberculatus sp. nov., Tachycines (Gymnaeta) ovalius sp. nov., and Tachycines (Gymnaeta) conicus sp. nov., from Guizhou Province, China are identified and described. Morphological information of males and females of the five new species are provided.
T.(Tachycines)和 T.(Gymnaeta),本属的物种主要分布在东南亚和东亚,包括缅甸、菲律宾、越南、印度和中国。亚属 Tachycines(Gymnaeta)的许多物种都是洞穴生物。在这项研究中,鉴定并描述了来自中国贵州省的该亚属的五个新洞穴物种,即 Tachycines(Gymnaeta)lingulatus sp. nov.、Tachycines(Gymnaeta)multispinus sp. nov.、Tachycines(Gymnaeta)microtuberculatus sp. nov.、Tachycines(Gymnaeta)ovalius sp. nov. 和 Tachycines(Gymnaeta)conicus sp. nov.。提供了这五个新物种的雌雄形态信息。
