Cicindela chinensis DeGeer, 1774: 119 View in CoL .

Cicindela sinensis View in CoL [sic]: Wood 1874: 16 [incorrect subsequent spelling].

Cicindela (Sophiodela) chinensis: Nakane 1955: 25 View in CoL .

Cicindela (Sericina) chinensis: Rivalier 1961:123 View in CoL [synonymy by Nakane 1976: 3].

Specimens examined. (N = 1) [ China] 1♂ ( MHJ), Hunan, Huaishua , VII. 1996, unknown leg .

Description. Internal sac everted dorsally in lateral view. DA largest in the bladders; DLL the second largest; VA as large as B. VLR, BLR and VB not exist.

VA short triangular everted apically. DA everted basally. B roundly swollen ventrally, with well sclerotized spines, which are forming a narrow band. DLL swollen dorsally, covered numerously with well sclerotized spines, which are a forming band. Flagellum well short, curved and formed S shape. Medial tooth short, gently curved right ventro-laterally at apical 1/3.

Remarks. Sophiodela chinensis flammifera ( Horn, 1920) distributed in South Korea and North Korea is related to this species. The structures of the male internal sac of this subspecies indicated possible synonymy with S. c. chinensis , but the former has a strong reddish body color and is slightly larger than the latter in body size. Sophiodela chinensis chinensis is almost the same size as Sophiodela japonica and apparently different from S. c. flammifera.

Further research would be required to test the validity of this possibility.
