AB - Three torrenticolid species new to science, i.e. Monatractides trilaminatus sp. nov., Torrenticola lushanensis sp. nov., and T. planusirostrum sp. nov. are described from Jiangxi Province, P. R. China. M. trilaminatus sp. nov. can be distinguished by the shoulder and frontal platelets fused together and formed into a pair of platelets; infracapitular bay U-shaped, extremely deep and narrow; the tip of coxae I with a small rectangle extension. T. lushanensis sp. nov. can be distinguished by epimeroglandularia 4 at the same level as the 4th pair of acetabula; anal pore on the same line with ventroglandularia 2, and posterior to ventroglandularia 1. T. planusirostrum sp. nov. can be distinguished by infracapitular dorsal apodeme almost absent, ventral apodeme blunt and long, rostrum flat and parallel to the ventral apodeme. Detailed descriptions and illustrations of these species are given in this paper.
