Taxonomic notes
. The species was described from Tibet by Corti & Draudt in the Seitz Supplementum (1933) combining with the genus
Anaplectoides
. Since then, its taxonomic position was debatable. The
holotype
of the taxon has not been found during our studies, but a male
paratype
and further two specimens are preserved in the Corti collection, NMB (one male and one female, the abdomen of the female is, unfortunately, missing). The specimens and their labels are illustrated in the figures 4–6. The male genitalia of the species are illustrated here for the first time; the detailed comparison with its congener is given in the introduction and in the diagnoses of
X. albicollis
, therefore a full redescription of the species seems to be unnecessary.
