( Figs. 18–28 )

Paratachycines (Hemitachycines) xiai Zhang, Liu & Bi, 2009: 67–68 .

Type specimen: male; type locality: Longdong, Jinan, Shandong; location of type specimen: Shanghai Entomological Museum , Chinese Academy of Science ( SEM, CAS) .

Material examined. 1♂, Shandong province, Jinan, Longdong , alt. 500–700m, collector unknown ; 1♂ 1♀, Henan province, Songxian, Baiyunshan , 9–20-VIII-1996, leg. Zuyao LIU et al .; 33♀♀, Shandong province, Taian , Tianwa- icun, alt. 200m, 12~ 13-IX-2017, leg. Xianwei LIU et al .; 29♂♂ 52♀♀, Shandong province, Taian, Taishan , Shixi- ayuan, alt. 190–300m, 12~ 13-VIII-2019, leg. Xianwei LIU, Hanqiang WANG & Yanya QIN ; 24♂♂ 35♀♀, Shandong province, Linyi, Mengshan , alt. 440–500m, 11-VIII-2019, leg. Xianwei LIU, Hanqiang WANG & Yanyan QIN .

Distribution. China (Shandong, Henan).

Discussion. Body colour of all specimens from Mengshan is brown ( Figs. 25–26 ), body of all specimens from Taishan black ( Figs. 27–28 ), but male genitalia and female subgenital plate of specimens from above both collected locations are virtually the same. The phylogenetic tree also indicated that individuals from above two locations formed a branch separately (unpublished), so we consider those differences may be related to the habitat.
