(Figs. 25–30)

Rhopalopsole emeishan Sivec & Harper, 2008 . Scopolia, 64:16. Type locality: Quingyin Pavillion, Emeishan Range, Sichuan Province.

Material examined. 1 male, China: Yunnan, Gongshan County, Dimaluo village, 98.7378 E, 25.1287 N, 1600 m, 2007. V.19, Xingyue Liu.

Distribution. China (Qinling of Shaanxin, Sichuan, Yunnan).

Remarks. Our identification is based on the nearly parallel–sided lateral projections (Figs. 27), as noted by Sivec et al (2008). The figures of the subanal lobe appear to be diagnostic. Additionally, the details of the epiproct, ornamental bands of tergum 9 and central plate are also consistent with original descriptions (Figs. 25–26, 28). Subanal lobe and the tip of lateral projections bear only slight variations with the original descriptions (Figs. 27, 29–30).
