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.
