(SNUC). Comparative notes. Nazeris rubidus is very similar to N. huapingensis in general appearance and aedeagal characters, but can be separated by the following combination of characters: the posterior excision of the male sternite VIII is wider ( Hu et al. 2018a : 176, fig. 11); the apex of the ventral process of the aedeagus is widely rounded in ventral view ( Hu et al. 2018a : 176, fig. 12); the dorso-lateral apophyses is nearly straight in lateral view ( Hu et al. 2018a : 176, fig. 13). Distribution and habitat data. The species is known from Nanling in northern Guangdong and Mangshan in southern Hunan (Fig. 27 ). The specimens were collected by sifted leaf litter at altitudes of 700-1820 m.
