(A–F photo: Weian Deng). Notes. Xistra klinnema is not a Xistra species because posterior angles of lateral lobes turned downwards, apex of posterior angles obtuse rounded. It belongs to Bannatettix Zheng, 1993 . We have examined the type specimens of Bannatettix ruiliensis and Xistra klinnema , and found that structures, type locality and coloration of the body are the same in both taxa. Therefore, Xistra klinnema is here considered a synonym of of Bannatettix ruiliensis .
