XIZANG: 1 ♀, Qamdo, 20.V.1976 , Han Yinheng leg. ( IOZ ). Diagnosis . This species is extremely similar in external characters including apical spur of protibia not dentate at margins (Fig. 1) to H. indicus , but differs from it in greater number (four, more rarely three or five) of setigerous pores along posterior margin of metafemur and in structure of median lobe of aedeagus with a much shorter basal field “ a ” and with a peculiar medial folded formation “ c ” in the internal sac ( Figs 72–77, 80–81 ); some specimens have a medial spiny patch in the internal sac ( Figs 78–79 ). In addition, mesotarsomere 1 of male of H. hauserianus lacks adhesive vestiture underneath in contrast to that of H. indicus orientalis , which has such vestiture apically. Body length 9.2–12.9 mm . Distribution . Known only from China : mainly the south-western part (Xizang, Yunnan, Guizhou, Sichuan, and Henan). The species is recorded here from Xizang and Guizhou for the first time. Remarks . In the original description of H. hauserianus , Schauberger (1929) did not mention any specimen of the type series as a type . Thence, based on the article 74.5 of the International Code of Zoological Nomenclature ( ICZN 1999 ), the subsequent erroneous treatment of the male from "Yun-nan-sen" as a holotype by Gusenleitner (1990) should be considered as a valid lectotype designation ( Kataev 2001 ), because this specimen was selected from the type series and all other specimens of this series were mentioned by him as paratypes . The status and distinctive characters of H. hauserianus were discussed by Kataev (2001) . Based on the original description of H. disaogashimensis , he also proposed that this taxon seems to be conspecific with H. hauserianus . A more recent examination of the type series of H. disaogashimensis confirmed this proposition. Thus we treat the latter taxon as a junior synonym of H. hauserianus .
