Distribution.
China, Shaanxi Province, Taibai Shan, southern slope, above Houshenzi, 1,300 –1,700 m a. s. l., 33°51'N, 107°50'E (Golovatch 2013 a).
Remarks.
Sellanucheza jaegeri was described by Golovatch (2013 a) from the Taibai Shan, Shaanxi Province, China. Somatically, the species is characterized by very poorly developed paraterga which are demarcated by sulci only dorsally. The gonopods are particularly distinctive, the femorite (fe) being suberect, slender and elongate. The solenophore (sph) is relatively short, strongly coiled and deeply bifid at tip (Fig. 5 D, E). In addition, the base of the solenophore is supplied with two prominent processes, pa and pb, both being long, subunciform and directed distad (Fig. 5 D, E). The species is currently known only from the type locality in Shaanxi Province, thus being endemic to northern China.
