Comment. Nazeris latilobatus (Figs 1, 7) is similar to N. qini Hu & Li (Hu & Li 2012: 40, Figs 19–24 ) from Dayaoshan in external and the male sexual characters, but can be separated by the deeper posterior excision of male sternite VIII ( Fig. 9 ), and much broader apex of the aedeagal ventral process ( Figs 10, 11 ).

Distribution and habitat. The species is known only from Mao'ershan in northeast Guangxi. The specimen was collected by sifting leaf litter at altitudes of 450–1750 m.
