Abstract
Formosana ruianensis n. sp. is described from Ruian Shi, Wenzhou Shi, Zhejiang, China, and its shell and genital anatomy are illustrated. The new species was confirmed in a phylogenetic analysis based on the 16S gene, and p-distances with other species of Formosana O. Boettger, 1877, Formosanella H. Nordsieck, 2003, and Paraformosana H. Nordsieck, 2003 are given. Oospira xinxingae Qiu, 2022 is transferred to Formosana: thus, Formosana xinxingae n. comb.
