Described from southern
China
, Guangzhou, on
14 females
and
3 males
, all apterae, this species is similar in appearance and chaetotaxy to
flavidus
and
reteanum
that are known only from micropterae. However, the head of the
holotype
(
Fig. 28
) lacks reticulate sculpture medially, and according to the description antennal segments I–II are brown instead of yellow, and antennal segment III is longer and more slender. Specimens of this species have not been studied, but the image of the head was kindly supplied by Professor Tong Xiaoli.
