Comment.
The original description is based on a single male with a probably slightly damaged aedeagus (Peng
et al.
2012). The species is most likely endemic to the Maoer Shan (
Fig. 1
). For illustrations of the habitus and the male sexual characters see Fig. 3 and Peng
et al.
(2012). The aedeagus and the previously unknown female sexual characters are as follows: aedeagus as in Figs 3G, 3H; ventral process asymmetric and distinctly angled subapically (lateral view); dorsal plate sclerotized and long; internal sac without sclerotized structures; posterior margin of female tergite VIII (Fig. 3A) moderately pointed at middle; female sternite VIII (Fig. 3B) longer than tergite VIII, apical margin broadly convex; female tergite IX (Fig. 3C) with short antero-median portion and with slender postero-lateral processes, median portion with median suture; female tergite X approximately five times as long as antero-median portion of female tergite IX (Fig. 3C).
