Remarks

The external appearance of this species was described well in the original publication ( Li et al. 2012), but the aedeagus was simply described and illustrated only in lateral and ventral views. Here, the material of this species is available for us, which makes it possible to provide a detailed description and illustrations of the aedeagus, to make better comparison with the new species below.
