Material examined. China: 13, Sichuan, Emeishan, 15. viii. 2002, Wei Cong and Shang Suqin, HO073798. Distribution. China (Sichuan), India, Nepal.

Remarks. Viraktamath (2004, 2011) adequately described the species. It can be readily recognized by the structure of the male pygofer, which is prolonged and narrowed caudally, terminating with a spinelike process. The processes on the aedeagal shaft are slightly asymmetrical in the single male studied and the lamellate process on the dorsal apodeme has serrated forks. This is the first record of the species from China, which extends its range from the Subhimalayan region to western China.
