Remark
. This easily recognizable species was described based on a single male specimen from northern
Vietnam
:
Lào Cai Province
, Hoang Lien Son (22°18–23’N, 103°49–54’ E,
1100–2400 m
a.s.l.). (
Schimmel 2001
). Here we report the second known specimen of this species, describe its male terminal abdominal segments, and redescribe the aedeagus. These structures are first figured here (
Figs 24–30
). For more information see
Schimmel (2001)
and Kundrata
et al
. (2018).

Fig. 25
) transverse, more than twice as wide as long, partly membranous, posteriorly trisinuate. Tergite IX (
Fig. 26
) about 1.3 times as long as wide, sides equally rounded, narrowed before apex, finely punctate and sparsely covered with fine, short pubescence, with several long setae laterally and near apex. Tergite X (
Fig. 26
) about twice as long as wide, apically partly membranous. Sternite IX (
Fig. 27
) elongate, almost three times as long as wide, rounded apically. Aedeagus (
Figs 28–30
) more than four times as long as wide. Median lobe reaching beyond parameres, with basal struts oriented basad; median lobe slightly curved near apex from lateral view (
Fig. 30
), subparallel-sided for most of its length in dorsal view (
Fig. 28
), apically abruptly narrowed, apex narrowly rounded. Paramere gradually slightly narrowed toward apex, slightly curved in lateral view, with subapical hook, apex pointed. Phallobase short, U-shaped.
