Remarks.

Leptomias elongitus is known from the province of Sichuan (Derong) and Xizang (Mangkang). It is narrowly distributed in the southwest of Sichuan (Fig. 24). Leptomias elongitus resembles L. nubilus but differs by the following characters: antennae with scape extending beyond anterior margin of eye but not reaching middle when at rest; postocular lobes developed; prothorax broadest behind middle.
