:nth-last-of-type()

The :nth-last-of-type() CSS pseudo-class matches elements of a given type, based on their position among a group of siblings, counting from the end.

/* Selects every fourth <p> element
   among any group of siblings,
   counting backwards from the last one */
p:nth-last-of-type(4n) {
  color: lime;
}

The nth-last-of-type pseudo-class is specified with a single argument, which represents the pattern for matching elements, counting from the end.

See :nth-last-child for a more detailed explanation of its syntax.

:nth-last-of-type( <nth> )
where 
<nth> = <an-plus-b> | even | odd

<div>
  <span>This is a span.</span>
  <span>This is another span.</span>
  <em>This is emphasized.</em>
  <span>Wow, this span gets limed!!!</span>
  <strike>This is struck through.</strike>
  <span>Here is one last span.</span>
</div>

span:nth-last-of-type(2) {
  background-color: lime;
}
