Lathrobium sp.

Material examined:

1 : “ CHINA: Guizhou, Leishan Co., SE Kaili, NE Leishan, Leigong Shan , E-slope, 26°23.39'N, 108°13.33'E / 2.5 km E of pass, 23./ 24.6.2001, ca. 1600 m, leg. Schillhammer (17 A)” ( NHMW) .

Comment:

The above female undoubtedly represents an undescribed species. It was collected close to the type locality of L. pium , from which it is distinguished by distinctly smaller size (body length 6.5 mm; length of forebody 3.5 mm), paler coloration, and by the female secondary sexual characters.
