The latter species differs from Torrenticola taiwanicus sp. n., in the shape of dorsal shield (compare Figs 4 A–B with Figs 4 C–D) with the angle of dorsal plate between the frontal plates more pointed, the anterior part of the dorsal plate lying between the traces of the shoulder plates delimitation more narrower and the angles of the traces of shoulder plates delimitation posterior to setae Dgl-3 more pronounced. A further difference is found in the glandular openings of Cxgl-4 and Cxgl-2 more distanced from each other in Torrenticola taiwanicus sp. n. (81-90 vs. 48-60 µm in Torrenticola ussuriensis).</p><p>Torrenticola occulta Lundblad, 1971, a species known from a single juvenile male specimen from Java (Lundblad 1971) resembles Torrenticola ussuriensis and Torrenticola taiwanicus sp. n., due to the Cxgl-4 posterior to Cxgl-2 and P-4 without ventral denticles, but clearly differs in the shape of palp (see: Lundblad 1971, Fig. 12), with P-2 ventral margin straight and P-4 more slender and relatively longer, L P-2/P-4 ratio 1.0 vs. P-2 ventral margin concave, P-4 more stocky and distinctly shorter than P-2, L P-2/P-4 ratio 1.08-1.2 in Torrenticola ussuriensis and Torrenticola taiwanicus sp. n. Because some important characters (e.g., the shape and colour of dorsal plate, presence of denticles on distal margin of P-3, distance between the glandular openings of Cxgl-4 and Cxgl-2) were lacking in original description of Torrenticola occulta, additional specimens are required to clarify status of this species (see: Wiles 1997 and Pešić and Smit 2009, for an discussion on the Asian Torrenticola species that have a dorsal shield with shoulder platelets fused or partially fused with dorsal plate).</p><p>Distribution.</p><p>Taiwan.</p></div>	https://treatment.plazi.org/id/AAC5E2C0C711DD390E97EB09BDC98B95	Public Domain	No known copyright restrictions apply.
