Abstract

A new species of Entomobrya from an urban park in the surroundings of Beijing, China is described. For the differentiation of Entomobrya cheni n. sp. the set of characters proposed by Jordana and Baquero (2005) has been used and compared with all described species. This character set is compared to that other species belonging to the genus Entomobrya.
