( Figs. 3 & 4 )

Puthz, 2017: 1362 (Type locality: China: Hubei, Daba Shan, pass E of Mt. Dashennongjia , 12 km NW Muyuping, 2050m).

Material examined: 1 male, China: Hubei: Shennongjia County, Shennongding (31°44'N, 110°29'E), 2800-2900 m, 26.VII.1998, Jun- Jian He leg. (IZ-CAS).

Distribution. China (Shaanxi, Hubei).

Remarks. The species is new to Hubei. The expulsion clasps are larger and separate from each other side of the aedeagus ( Figs. 3E & 4A ), when we observed the specimens from Hubei, China. This differences may not be fundamental but obvious from that reproted by Puthz (2017).
