, fig. 46.
Type material:
Holotype
female, on slide labelled ‘Cec. 028’, ex coll. I. Chou. – Although
Tseng’s (1965)
text on the species does not include a term such as
holotype
, he did mention seeing
one specimen
only. His very detailed instructions on methods to study such midges (
op. cit.
: 137-139) may suggest that he had made the
holotype
slide himself, but he did not state so explicitly.
Type
locality:

Shaanxi Province
,
Chang’an County
(now
Chang’an District
,
Xi’an City
