Remarks.
J. deliciola
was described based on a single male collected from the cave Xiaoyanzi Dong in Xingwen County of southern
Sichuan
(
Uéno and Kishimoto, 2001
). During an expedition of the
Sichuan
Cave Exploration Team in the same county, a female
Jujiroa
individual was discovered by Mr. Hao Jin in the cave Niu’ertong Dong, which is only 1.0 km from Xiaoyanzi Dong. It must be Uéno and Kishimoto’s species despite minor differences; its pronotum is stouter, with hind angles pointed and only two dorsal setiferous pores present on elytral stria 3 (anterior one missing) instead of three.
