Distribution
.
China
,
Guangxi Zhuang
Autonomous Region, Lo Ch’eng. Previously known only from the
holotype
male, which is lost (
Wu 1938a
,
Zwick 1984
).
Remarks
.
Zwick (1984)
noted that only on the basis of the original description, this species is indistinguishable from
N. gressitti
. Despite that this is the only species hitherto known from
Guangxi
, below we report our
gressitti
group specimen as
N. gressitti
.
Wu (1938
, figs. 308–309) originally illustrated an undivided sensilla basiconica patch on tergum 9, probably a species specific character of
Neoperlops
. Our specimen has a divided sensilla patch, similar to the redescription of
N. gressitti
(
Zwick 1984
: fig. 2d). However, topotypes need to be examined from Luocheng City (Lo Ch’eng) to clarify this the status of this species.
