Abstract

Three new species of Trichopeltis are described from caves in southern China: T. bellus sp. n., T. intricatus sp. n., and T. reflexus sp. n., all presumed troglobites. The former two come from Yunnan Province, the latter one from Hunan Province. An updated key to all eleven currently known species of Trichopeltis is provided.
