A new species
Crossodonthina laterisensillata sp. nov. is described from Iriomote Island, Japan. The new species is similar to
C.
tridentiens but can be distinguished by dorso-external tubercles isolated from dorso-lateral tubercles on abdominal segment V and mandible head consisting of six rami. Partial regions of the mitochondrial cytochrome
c oxidase subunit 1 and 16S ribosomal RNA genes of
C.
laterisensillata sp. nov. were sequenced for DNA barcoding. A key to Japanese
Crossodonthina species is provided.
