Material examined
Nine specimens were collected from Mount Taibai.
Remarks
This species was reported as a new record for
China
from Sechuan Province and
Yunnan Province
(
Beasley et al. 2006
). The reticular sculpture, number and configuration of gibbosities in my specimens fit the description of this species (
Dastych 1990
). It has never been reported from the Tsinling Mountains.
