Remarks.

Leptomias nubilus is recorded from Sichuan (Xiangcheng) and Xizang (Mangkang). Xiangcheng is located in the southwest region of Sichuan (Fig. 24). Leptomias nubilus can be distinguished from L. elongitus by antennae with scape reaching middle of eye when at rest; eyes large and slightly flat; postocular lobes not developed; with a depression positioned laterally between the upper margin of antennal scrobe and the front of eyes; prothorax rather smooth, without median longitudinal, broadest before middle.
