Solenysa circularis Gao et al., 1993: 66 , figs 7–10; Song et al., 1999: 204, fig. 116H–I, N–O; Tu & Li, 2006b: 90, figs 1–11 (misidentification).

Types: Male holotype (male paratype of S. circularis ), CHINA: Mt. Tianmushan (30.40°N, 119.50°E), Zhejiang Province, 10.viii.1992 (JLU) .

Diagnosis: Males of S. tianmushana can be easily recognized by the cone-shaped outstanding cymbial probasal process ( Tu & Li, 2006b: fig. 4), by the large bifurcate median terminal apophysis, and by the large curved third branch of lamella characteristica ( Fig. 7D). Female unknown.

Description: See description of S. circularis by Tu & Li (2006b).

Distribution: China (Zhejiang) ( Fig. 22 ).

Remarks: The female holotype S. circularis is conspecific with S. protrudens and the latter species is a senior synonym of the former (see remarks for S. protrudens ). The male paratype of S. circularis becomes now the holotype of the new species S. tianmushana .
