Hexarhopalus (Hexarhopalus) sculpticollis Fairmaire, 1891 : IX. Type locality: Neotype (designated by Purchart, 2009), Tianmushan National Nature Reserve, Lin’an County, Zhejiang Province, China; Bečvář & Purchart, 2008: 41; Ren & Xu, 2011: 25, record form Anhui, China.

Material examined (4 spec., 2 ♂♂, 2 ♀♀). 2 ♂♂, 1 ♀, CHINA: Zhejiang: labeled: ‘ China: Zhejiang, Lin’an City (ûaeḿ), Tianmushan N. R. (RhƜÞǿùếṽ), 14.VII.2018, H: 1250 m, Ri-Xin Jiang leg.’ ( QUST) ; 1 ♀, la-beled: ‘ Zhjiang, Panan County (ȁaess), Dapanshan N. R.

Aedeagus ( Figs 4 View FIGURE 4 C–E), nearly symmetrical, abdominal ventrite VIII ( Fig. 4F View FIGURE 4 ) deeply split medially at posterior margin and with long dense hair at hind margin. Spiculum gastrale ( Fig. 4G View FIGURE 4 ) near symmetrical, short, with large apical lobes.

Female ( Fig. 3B View FIGURE 3 ) similar to males, but larger. Ventrite VIII ( Fig. 4H View FIGURE 4 ) slightly split medially at posterior margin and covered with long dense hairs. spiculum ( Fig. 4H View FIGURE 4 ) tortuous at middle, apex rounded and slightly dilated.

Remarks: Fairmaire (1891) recorded “Chang-Yang” from China as the original type locality of Hexarhopalus (Hexarhopalus) sculpticollis. Purchart (2009) designated the neotype based on the specimen from Zhejiang, China. The two studies both lack description of the genital characters. We hereby provide the supplementary descriptions with genital characters added .
