Deltocephalus nigriventris Kuoh ( Fig. 2 )

Deltocephalus nigriventris Kuoh, 1985: 85 , Plate 3, Figs 1–8 .

Distribution. China (Xinjiang).

Remarks. No material of this species, described from Tianshan Mountains, Xinjiang Province, China, was examined, but based on the original figures it differs from the similar pulicaris and maculiceps by the following combination of characters: 1) vertex longer without markings; 2) upturned apex of aedeagal shaft longer ( Fig. 2 B); 3) aedeagal shaft subapical ventral margin smooth ( Fig. 2 B); 4) hind margin of seventh sternum of female deeply concave medially ( Fig. 2 A).
