Amphinemura yangi Zhu & Yang, 2003

( Figs. 21–25 )

Amphinemura yangi Zhu & Yang, 2003 . Entomologia Sinica 10(1): 51. Type locality: Lunang, Tibet.

Diagnosis. The epiproct of this species is narrowly triangular in dorsal view. The ventral sclerite is keel-like, but discontinuous with the ventral surface, forming an enlarged spur that bears many stout spines for most of its length. The outer lobe of the paraproct is also distinctive in that its base is narrow, but expands abruptly to form a broad, rounded and membranous tip fringed with several rows of tiny spines.

Distribution. China (Tibet).
