Comparative notes.

Nazeris rugosus is distinguished from all the known species of Nazeris from the Nanling Mountains by the microsculpture covering the head, pronotum and abdomen ( Hu and Qiao 2019: 436, figs 18-20), and by the distinctive shape of the aedeagus, particularly the apically narrowed ventral process ( Hu and Qiao 2019: 436, fig. 23).

Distribution and habitat data.

The species is known only from Mao’ershan in northeast Guangxi (Fig. 27 ). The specimen was collected by sifting leaf litter at altitudes of 1990-2100 m.
