Comment.

The original description is based on four males. The previously unknown female sexual characters are as follows: posterior margin of tergite VIII (Fig. 2A ) convex; posterior margin of sternite VIII (Fig. 2B ) strongly convex and with moderately dense micropubescence; tergite IX (Fig. 2C ) with median suture and long postero-lateral processes; tergite X (Fig. 2C ) nearly reaching anterior margin of tergite IX. The above records from Hunan represent new province records. For illustrations of the habitus and the male sexual characters, see Peng et al. (2014).
