( Figs 7–8 )

We only found one specimen of this recently described, unmistakable species. The present record from Huguangyan Lake in Southern China is the third of this species, expanding its known range within the Oriental region beyond Cambodia ( Segers et al., 2010) and its type locality in Thailand ( Meksuwan et al., 2011).
