Abstract: A new species of Scaphobaeocera Csiki, 1909 from Yunnan, China, S. setosa sp.
nov., is described. It is unique in having strongly enlarged male protarsomeres
with long oblique setae, forming a fan-like structure. The new species may be
also readily distinguished from its congeners by its large body size.
