Abstract

The phylogenetic relationship of the family Caligonellidae Grandjean is studied. The homonym Sinognathus Fan and Li is replaced with Paraneognathus. The position of four species formerly belonging to the genus Neognathus is discussed. Two new species, Caligonella tunica sp. nov. and Coptocheles shaowuensis sp. nov. from Fujian are described.
