Remarks. In the original description of the genus and the type species, the aedeagus was described as with a pair of long lamellate processes dorso-basad, which may refer to the transversely expanded dorsal apodeme. The aedeagal process is absent for both species examined in this study.

Distribution. China (Guangdong, Hainan, Sichuan).
