(Fig. 1A–B; Fig. 2A–C, Table 1)</p> <p>Material examined. Holotype (male) (Slide number MTB0508200), two paratypes (Slide number MTB0508201, female; MTB0508202, female) were collected from <a href="https://tb.plazi.org/GgServer/search?materialsCitation.longitude=107.76283&amp;materialsCitation.latitude=33.952" title="Search Plazi for locations around (long 107.76283/lat 33.952)">Mt. Taibai</a> at 3,590 m a.s.l. (33°57.12' N, 107°45.77' E). The specimens are deposited at the College of Life Sciences, Shaanxi Normal University, P. R. China.</p> <p>Description of the holotype (measurements are provided in Table 1). Colour red. Eyespots black. Cephalic appendages include internal buccal cirrus, cephalic papilla, external buccal cirrus, cirrus A, and clava; lateral and dorsal appendages consist of cirrus A, C, D, E, C d and D d. Armour consists of single cephalic plate, scapular plate, first single median plate, first paired­plates, second median plate, second paired­plates, and terminal plate; third median plate absent (Fig. 1A–B); sculpture absent on the anterior part of the second median plate; notches absent on terminal plate. Plates decorated with minute, closely spaced polygons and irregular pores (Fig. 2A), identical to cuticular sculpture of Echiniscus cheonyoungi Moon &amp; Kim, 1994; sculpture on legs absent; dentate collar with 8–9 teeth. Papilla­like projection present on the lateral surface of the fourth pair of legs, spurs absent on all claws of each leg (Fig. 2B–C).</p> <p>Eggs unknown.</p> <p>Remarks. The paratypes are similar to the holotype with regards to the qualitative characters.</p> <p>Etymology. This species is named after the type locality, Mt. Taibai.</p> <p>Differential diagnosis. Echiniscus taibaiensis sp. nov. is similar to E. velaminis Murray in having a similar arrangement of lateral and dorsal appendages and in lacking the third median plate, but it differs from E. velaminis in lacking the spine inserted near the base of cirrus D and in having much shorter dorsal appendages C d and D d (E. taibaiensis sp. nov.: C d 9.2–12.5µm, D d 10.5–15.7µm; E. velaminis: C d 150µm, D d 110µm (based on drawing from Ramazzotti &amp; Maucci, 1983)). E. velaminis also has notches in the terminal plate, which are lacking in E. taibaiensis sp. nov..</p> <p>The new species is also similar to E. cheonyoungi Moon &amp; Kim, but it differs from it by lacking both cirrus B and median plate 3. E. cheonyoungi also has "rather shallow" notches in the terminal plate while they are lacking in E. taibaiensis sp. nov..</p> </div>	https://treatment.plazi.org/id/3203E301FF985748351EFDA3FB76D9CB	Public Domain	No known copyright restrictions apply.

Eight specimens (Slide numbers TB0505001, TB 0505002–0505004, TB0505007–0505007, TB0505010–0505011) were collected from the southern slope of Mt. Taibai at 2,200 m a.s.l. (33° 48 N, 107° 43 E). All specimens are deposited at the <a href="https://tb.plazi.org/GgServer/search?materialsCitation.longitude=107.71667&amp;materialsCitation.latitude=33.8" title="Search Plazi for locations around (long 107.71667/lat 33.8)">College of Life Sciences</a>, Shaanxi <a href="https://tb.plazi.org/GgServer/search?materialsCitation.longitude=107.71667&amp;materialsCitation.latitude=33.8" title="Search Plazi for locations around (long 107.71667/lat 33.8)">Normal University</a>.</p> <p>Description. Colour red. Eyes present. Internal buccal cirrus, external buccal cirrus, cephalic papilla, cirrus A, clava, dorsal spine C, dorsal spine D, lateral cirrus D and lateral spine E present. The internal buccal cirrus with cirrophore and scapus. Armour consists of single cephalic plate, single scapular plate, first single median plate, first paired plates, second single median plate, second paired plates, and terminal plate with two usual notches; third median plate absent; dorsal plates decorated with small hexagons or circles with central small pits (Fig. 3A). A transverse ridge present in the paired plates I and II. A smooth band anterior to this ridge is also present on the paired plates I and II. Dorsal filament C very long; dorsal spine D short and rigid; cirrus D very long, only a little shorter than the dorsal spine C; spine E short (Table 2). The dentate collar with 8–9 teeth. Papilla on the lateral surface of the fourth pair of legs present. Spurs present only on the internal claws of the first three pairs of legs, spurs present on the internal claws and small spurs present on the external claws of the fourth pair of legs; length of claws increases caudally (Table 2).</p> <p>* The number in bracket represents sample size.</p> <p>Remarks. Our specimens differ from the specimens from other localities in Europe, North America, and Turkey by lacking spine C, or by having a long filament D instead of short spine D. Specimens with filament D were also found in Sardinia, Italy (Binda &amp; Guglielmino, 1982). The population we found is not accompanied by any other species of the “ blumi­canadensis ” group. This species has not been reported from China before, therefore our specimens represent a new record of this species for the tardigrade fauna of China.</p></div> 	https://treatment.plazi.org/id/3203E301FF9D574F351EFE91FEB0DD12	Public Domain	No known copyright restrictions apply.
