Remarks. This species ( Fig. 40 ), was previously known only from the type locality in Jiangxi, China ( Shavrin

2013, 2018). Geodromicus lucidus is related to G. cupreostigma (see above), which also has a metallic bluish or greenish reflection of the body ( Shavrin 2013). A comparison of the shapes of the aedeagi of G. lucidus from different localities shows insignificant variability of the shapes of the median lobe and parameres ( Figs. 44–53 ). Male abdominal tergite VIII as in Fig. 42 , and male abdominal sternite VIII are as in Fig. 43 . The distribution of the species is shown in Fig. 112 . The species is here recorded from Anhui and Guizhou for the first time.
