Eight specimens and two eggs were collected from Yunnan Province , three specimens from Guizhou Province .

Remarks

This species was reported as a new record for China from Hubei Province ( Yang 2007). The eggs are spherical, with truncated cone-like projections, the shell is irregularly punctated. My specimens fit the description of this species ( Ramazzotti and Maucci 1983). It is the first report of this species from the Yunnan-Guizhou Plateau.
