We confirm eight new species, i.e., <em>Anaplecta corneola</em> Deng &amp; Che sp. nov., <em>Anaplecta staminiformis</em> Deng &amp; Che sp. nov., <em>Anaplecta arcuata</em> Deng &amp; Che sp. nov., <em>Anaplecta strigata</em> Deng &amp; Che sp. nov., <em>Anaplecta furcata</em> Deng &amp; Che sp. nov., <em>Anaplecta cruciata</em> Deng &amp; Che sp. nov., <em>Anaplecta nigra</em> Deng &amp; Che sp. nov. and <em>Anaplecta bicolor</em> Deng &amp; Che sp. nov. based on morphological and molecular data using ABGD and GMYC analyses. The results of ABGD and GMYC were basically consistent with the morphospecies of <em>Anaplecta</em>. The intraspecific and interspecific genetic distances of <em>Anaplecta</em> ranged from 0 to 6.6% and 16.8% to 31.8%, respectively. We found the male genitalia of <em>Anaplecta</em> to exhibit intraspecific variation, especially in the phallomeres.</p>}, number={1}, journal={European Journal of Taxonomy}, author={Deng, Wenbo and Liu, Yuchao and Wang, Zongqing and Che, Yanli}, year={2020}, month={Oct.}, pages={77-106} }
