( Figs. 13–14 , 21 , 38, 44 , 46–47, 67 ; Map 2)

Sinochlora stylosa Shi & Chang 2004 , Oriental Insects, 38: 336; Liu & Kang 2007, J. Nat. Hist., 41(21): 1322.

Material examined. Holotype: male, Libo, Guizhou, 23 Aug. 2000, coll. Fu-Ming Shi. Paratypes: 2 males and 2 females, Libo, Guizhou, 19–24 Aug. 2000, coll. Fu-Ming Shi. Other specimens, 5 males, Libo, Guizhou, 17–24 Aug. 2000, coll. Fu-Ming Shi; 1 male, Libo, Guizhou, 2 Oct. 2008, coll. Zai-Hua Yang.

Supplementary description. Male stridulatory file with about 44 teeth regularly arranged. Female subgenital plate with apical lobes obtuse-angled at apex ( Fig. 67 ).

Discussion. The species is similar to S. sinensis Tinkham, 1945 and S. trapezialis Liu & Kang, 2007 , but differs from them in: male epiproct with a stout apical spine, female subgenital plate with apical lobes obtuseangled at apex and the notch relatively shallow.

Distribution. China (Guizhou).
