Eight species of genus Velarifictorus Randell, 1964 have been recorded from China prior to this study. Here we describe one new species, dianxiensis He sp. nov. western Yunnan. COI genes spp. were used reconstruct a phylogenetic tree for confirming the relationships these species. The type specimens are deposited in Museum Biology, East Normal University (ECNU).
