Systematics: Paraputo nanlingensis. is similar to P. sinuosus Williams, 2004 in the number of cerarii and the presence of large oral collar tubular ducts between the anal lobes. However, it differs from P. sinuosus by the following features (condition of P. sinuosus given in parentheses): (i) anal lobe cerarius each containing about 8 conical setae (each containing 2 or 3 conical setae); and (ii) anal ring bearing 8 setae (bearing 6 setae). In China, P. nanlingensis is similar to P. platani in having 18 pairs of cerarii. This species differs from P. platani in having (condition of P. platani given in parentheses): (i) 6-segmented antennae (8-segmented antennae); and (ii) tubular ducts absent from between antennal bases (16–18 tubular ducts present between antennal bases). (Li, Zheng & Wu, 2024)
