Remarks.
This species was described from the Fujian,
China
, based on
1 male
and
4 female
specimens. Recently,
2 male
and
2 female
specimens were collected from Zhejiang. A comparison of all material, indicates that the
paratypes
are
Abrus concavelus
Li and Wang, 2006
.
The species is very similar to
A.bifurcatus
Dai and Zhang
, but can be distinguished from the latter by: 1) pygophore with posterior margin straight and armed with pair of long processes; 2) apical aedeagal appendages without process at base. The Fujian population has the aedeagus very similar to that of the Zhejiang population in that the basal projection of the aedeagus lacks the lateral appendages found in the Zhejiang population. However, we feel that this is within variation expected in a widely distributed species.
Distribution.
