Diagnosis:
The aedeagus agrees well with the original illustration in
Du
et al.
(2001)
(Li
et al.
2013). Aedeagal tube sclerotized, evenly curved ventrally, with many spines on dorsal surface and a dark bevelled ring proximally. Aedeagal sac shorter than tube (ca. 1/6 tube length), membranous, gradually tapering to a blunt tip and strongly curved ventrally forming nearly a right angle with tube; dorsally covered by dense spines; ventrobasal surface smooth (
Figs. 29–30
).
Distribution:
China
(
Zhejiang
and
Anhui
Provinces) (
Fig. 31
).
Remark:
Compared with the individuals in
Zhejiang
, our materials from
Anhui
showed differences between individuals including the procces on male tergum 8 with or without an anterior notch, and the hemitergal process sometimes obviously slender. Their aedeagal morphology without visible difference in this study (
Fig. 28
).
