Amaurodera cameroni ASSING, 2003

Material examined: India: 2 exs., Arunachal Pradesh, Etalin env., 28°37'N, 95°53'E, 700 m, sifted, 12.–15.V.2012, leg. Dembický ( ZMFK, cAss) .

Comment: The previously known distribution included Nepal and North India eastwards to Assam. The above specimens represent the first record from Arunachal Pradesh ( ASSING 2003, 2005a, 2009, 2015c).

YAN & LI (2015a) suggest that A. cameroni may be conspecific with A. yunnanensis PACE, 1998 . In the latter, however, the ventral process of the aedeagus is much more convex subapically (lateral view), the crista apicalis of the aedeagus is longer, and the spermatheca differs by a shorter distal portion and a longer and terminally convex proximal portion of the capsule ( A. cameroni : proximal portion distinctly truncate). For illustrations of the intraspecific variation of the genitalia of A. cameroni see ASSING (2003), for figures of A. yunnanensis see YAN & LI (2015a) and PACE (1998).
