            <p>Type material.</p>
            <p>Holotype (BDN No. 041685) 1♂, China, Fujian Province：Longyan City, Shanghang County, Buyun Town, Qiushan, 25.03N, 116.24E, 6.V.1993, Wang XH, light trap. Paratypes: 1♂ same as holotype; 3♂, Fujian Province: Sanming City, Jianning County, 25. IX.2002, Liu Z, light trap; 1♂, Guangxi Zhuang Autonomous Region: Nanning City, 9. V.1986, Wang XH; 2♂, Guizhou Province: Libo County, 7.VIII.1995, Bu WJ, light trap; 1♂, Hainan Province: Ledong City, Jianfengling National Forest Park, Song C, light trap.</p>
            <p>Etymology.</p>
            <p> From Latin,  trigonum means triangle, referring to the triangular tergite IX. </p>
            <p>Diagnostic characters.</p>
            <p> The male adults could be obviously distinguished from other  Kiefferulus species by the triangular IX tergite, superior volsella with projection and basal part of inferior volsella wider than distal part. </p>
