Abstract

The species of the family Plectopylidae from Zhejiang, China is revised. Five plectopylid species were reported—excluding the doubtfully distributed species Sicradiscus cutisculptus (Möllendorff, 1882)—namely Sicradiscus panpanae sp. nov., Sicradiscus cf. ishizakii (Kuroda, 1941), Sicradiscus diptychia (Möllendorff, 1885), Sinicola emoriens (Gredler, 1881) and Sinicola fimbriosa (E. v. Martens, 1875). The new species can be distinguished from its congeners based on the lamella-like ribs, the very wide umbilicus, and the extremely wide anterior lamella on the parietal wall. Sicradiscus cf. ishizakii is reported from four, Sinicola emoriens from two sites, while the new species is reported only from its type locality.
