Abstract

Two new species of Xenylla from Jilin Province, Northeast China are described and illustrated. Xenylla changlingensis, new species clearly differs from the closely related species X. piceeta Stebaeva & Potapov, 1994 in the presence of dorsal la2 of thoracic segments II and III, the absence of ventral seta p2 on abdominal segment II, 1 median ventral seta above the retinaculum on abdominal segment III, and lack of teeth on the mucro. Xenylla changchunensis, new species is similar to the species X. osetica Stebaeva & Potapov, 1994. However, it is separable from the latter by the presence of a furca, a tenaculum, and the ventral chaetotaxy on abdominal segment III.
