Nusatidia camouflata Deeleman-Reinhold, 2001: 176, figs 169-174 (♂♀).

Material examined.

China: Yunnan: Xishuangbanna: Mengla County: Menglun Town : Menglun Nature Reserve : 1♂, secondary tropical montane evergreen broad-leaved forest (21°57.528'N, 101°12.384'E, 899 m), 4-11 May 2007, G. Zheng leg.

Diagnosis.

Males of this species can be easily distinguished from congeners by the long and bifid retrolateral tibial apophysis, over 1/2 of tibial length (Fig. 9B ) (vs. RTA not bifid, <1/3 of tibial length). The male also can be easily recognised by having abdominal patterns on venter (Fig. 10B ) (vs. lacking pattern).

Description.

See Deeleman-Reinhold (2001). Male palp as in Fig. 9A-E , habitus as in Fig. 10A-C .

Distribution.

Prior to our study, this species was known from Thailand (Kanchanaburi Province) only. Our collection in southwest China (Yunnan Province, new record) extends the known range of this species ~ 870 km to the northwest.
