﻿AbstractThe fairy shrimp genusParartemiopsisRogers, 2005 currently contains a single species reported from Russia and Mongolia. In 2013, an unidentifiedParartemiopsispopulation was reported from the eastern margin of the Tibetan Plateau in China’s Yunnan Province, from Patatson National Park in Shangri-La County. Here, we describe the Chinese populations as a new species,Parartemiopsisshangrilaensissp. nov.This new species is distinguished from its congener,P.longicornis(Smirnov, 1930), by the form of the male second antennae and the gonopod. The discovery ofP.shangrilaensissp. nov.extends the known distribution of the genus, and moreParartemiopsisspecies may be found in the future. We present a key to the genera and species ofChirocephalidaein China as an aid to future research.
