Discussion.
Lipotactes vietnamicus
Gorochov, 1993
is firstly recorded in
China
. Though the specimens we examined illustrate a few difference with the original description, we concluded that these specimens are
Lipotactes vietnamicus
. The male specimens were soaked in alcohol, so the male specimens were discolored.
Distribution.
China
(
Guangxi
),
Vietnam
