The specimen described herein represents a new genus and species Jiangshanosaurus lixianensis of sauropod referable to the Titanosauridae. The specimen was collected by Wei Feng,Wu Wei Tang and Kang Xi Min in Jiangshan,Zhejiang allegedly from the lower part of Jinhua Formation in Albian (105Ma) horizon. The preserved part is fairly complete. Compared to the sauropod skeletons in China and other nations from Late Jurassic and Cretaceous,the diagnosis of scapulocoracoid and vertebrae of the new genus is most similar to those of Titanosauridae,especially Alamosaurus. The new fossil is described as the Titanosauridae for the first time in China,and provides new material for studying the evolution and distribution of Cretaceous Sauropoda,Titanosauridae in China.
