Abstract

The genus Notothylas in China contains four species. One new species, Notothylas yunnanensis, is described and illustrated. The new species is characterized by each proximal spore surface with a small central hollow, irregularly arranged, rectangular to quadrate epidermal cells of the capsule, and absence of a special dehiscence line in the capsule. A key to the species of Notothylas in China is provided.
