03F70F45FF8E24269DBEFF99FA86FDBB.taxon	discussion	Discussion. The new species is similar to T. (G.) femoratus (Zhang & Liu, 2009), but can separated from the latter by several morphological features. First, in T. (G.) ater sp. nov., the lateral margin of the epiphallus of male genitalia is curving, but in T. (G.) femoratus (Zhang & Liu, 2009), the lateral margin of the epiphallus is straight. Second, the lateral sclerites of male genitalia of T. (G.) ater sp. nov., are more developed than those in T. (G.) femoratus (Zhang & Liu, 2009). Third, the number of spines on the hind tibiae of this new species is lower than that in T. (G.) femoratus (Zhang & Liu, 2009).	en	Li, Bing, Feng, Xueli, Luo, Changqing (2021): Four new species of the subgenus Tachycines (Gymnaeta) (Rhaphidophoridae Aemodogryllinae: Aemodogryllini) from caves in northern Guizhou, China.
