Poecilosomella annulitibia ( DEEMING, 1969)

Material studied: 18 males, 29 females ( CMNH, 5 males, 7 females in HNHM): TAIWAN :

Taichung, Anmashan , 2230 m, 30 Apr–4 May 1990, A. Smetana ( T32 ) .

All the important features, including armature of mid tibia ( DEEMING 1969: fig. 5) and those of the male postabdomen and genitalia, i.e. the medial projection of sternite 5 & 6, lobes of surstylus ( DEEMING 1969: fig. 18) seem to fit the description of the holotype male. I have previously redescribed this species ( PAPP 1991 a: 106). Formerly known from Nepal (cf. also ROHÁČEK et al. 2001), so its occurrence in Taiwan significantly widens its known distribution.
