Abdomen oval, depressed and flattened, black in ground-colour, with dense grey pruinosity; syntergite 1+2 to tergite 5 each with 1 broad median inverted triangular vitta; sternite 1 bare. Female : Unknown. Remarks. Fannia grahami was described from specimens collected by Dr D.C. Graham from Songfan, Sichuan province, China ( Chillcott, 1961b ). The holotype male (No. 64541) is deposited in the American Museum of Natural History ( USA ). Since then, no subsequent material and/or additional distribution records have been reported. While studying specimens of Fannia from Yunnan and Sichuan, we found specimens that we recognized as conspecific with F. grahami . The specimens have been compared with the description and male terminalia illustrations given by Chillcott (1961b) . This is the first record of the species since the original description fifty years ago. Material examined. CHINA : Yunnan : Deqin: Mt. Baima: alt. 3800–4200m , 1 male , 5.vii.2006 , M.F.
