:last-child selector

Selects all elements that are the last child of their parent.

While :last matches only a single element, :last-child can match more than one: one for each parent.

jQuery( ":last-child" )
version added: 1.1.4
Examples:

Find the last span in each matched div and add some css plus a hover state.
