Specimens examined: Holotype male, China: Guangdong, Guangzhou, Huolushan , 5.iv.2004, ex tree trunk, MF Xu ( SCAU, no. 120274) . Paratypes: two females, same date and place as the holotype ( SCAU, no. 120275-76). One male, Hainan, Ledong, Jianfeng , 230 m, 1.xii.2003, ex tree trunk, HW Chen ( SCAU, no. 120277) .

Etymology: A combination of the Latin words apex and procerus, referring to the aedeagus apically protruding on posteromedian surface.

Diagnosis: Paramere entirely pubescent, lacking setae ( Fig. 11 View Figures 8–14 ); aedeagus apically protruding on posteromedian surface ( Fig. 12 View Figures 8–14 ).
