Distribution.
Shennongjia (

) and Yintiaoling (
Chongqing
).
Remarks.
The characters of the habitus and the gonopods of this species are shown in
Figs 11–12
. The
type
locality of this species is in Shennongjia National Natural Reserve,
Hubei Province
(
Mauriès & Nguyen Duy-Jacquemin, 1997
), bordering on Yintiaoling. It is not surprising to collect this species in the region.
