Abstract
Based on specimens collected from Lake Lugu in Yanyuan County, Liangshan Yi Autonomous Prefecture, Yunnan Province, China, we have described a new species of the genus Valvata, Valvata succinea sp. nov. Prior to this, no extant species of Valvatidae family endemic to China have been discovered. The ancient history and unique environment of Lake Lugu may have facilitated the formation of this species. Detailed description of the morphology of this species were provided.
