The new taxa include Tongweispira sichuanensis, new genus and new species, and the following new species: Ananias guojiashanensis, Worthenia extendia, Gosseletina? dangchangensis, Zygites laevigatus, Trochotoma (Discotoma) gansuensis, Cheilotomona acutocarinata, Naticopsis (Dicosmos) compressus, Naticopsis (Discosmos) sichuanensis, Naticopsis? ribletella, Neritopsis planoplicatus, Platychilina sinensis, Platychilina obliqua, and Omphaloptycha gansuensis.
