Material examined. Types: holotype ♂: CHINA: Taiwan , Nantou , Wushe , 1150 m, 2.IV.1983, Henry Townes leg. ( AEIC) . Paratypes: same locality label as holotype, 1♀ ( AMNH) . PHILIPPINES: Mindanao Island , Mt. Apo, Galog River, 6000 ft., 28.IX, C.S. Clagg leg., 1♂ ( AMNH) .

Hosts. Unknown.

Distribution. China (Taiwan), Philippines (Mindanao).

Remarks. The holotype of A. wushensis is the male erroneously identified as A. penanganus Olmi, 1984 in the key to the males of Oriental Aphelopus presented by Xu et al. (1999a). Really, the true male of A. penanganus is that described as A. olmii by He & Xu (2002).
