Macrobiotus montanus
Murray, 1910
Material examined
Four specimens and
one egg
were collected from
Yunnan Province
.
Remarks
This species was reported as a new record for
China
from
Shaanxi Province
(
Li 2007
). The eggs are spherical, with projections of hemispherical shape, almost in contact with each other at their bases. My specimens fit the description of this species (
Ramazzotti and Maucci 1983
). It is the first report of this species from the Yunnan-Guizhou Plateau.
