Schawaller det., 1♀ ( SMNS ) ; Annapurna Himal mts , Annapurna Base Camp , 4100–4400 m , 13.vi.2000 , J. Schmidt leg., W. Schawaller det., 1 J 1 ♀ ( SMNS ) . Taxonomic note. Habitus of the only Chinese female specimen available ( Fig. 2 ) fully corresponds with the specimens from Nepal . It is only slightly stouter; see also SCHAWALLER (2005: 116 , Fig. 12 ). Tergite VIII in this female is more transverse ( Fig. 16 ) than in the two females from Nepal ( Figs. 17, 18 ). Ventrite VIII is posteriorly truncate but spiculum ventrale seems to be mutilated in the specimen from China ( Fig. 19 ); ventrite VIII is posteriorly truncate or regularly rounded and spiculum ventrale is truncate or emarginated anteriorly in specimens from Nepal ( Figs. 20, 21 ). Ventro-medial sclerite of female genitalia is largely unsclerotized medially and only weakly emarginated posteriorly in the Chinese specimen ( Fig. 22 ) and only weakly unsclerotized medially and rounded posteriorly in specimens from Nepal ( Figs. 23, 24 ). Further material from China , including male specimens, is needed to evaluate properly the taxonomical status of the Chinese population. Distribution. So far known only from central Nepal ( SCHAWALLER 1986 , 1991 , 1999 , 2005 ). First record here reported from China ( Fig. 27 ), which is an extension of the known distributional range by about 1200 km eastwards.
