Remarks

Aphelopus nivealis Mita & Olmi, 2014 was originally described from the Eastern Palaearctic region (Honshu, Japan) (see Olmi & Xu 2015). In this species there are no notauli. One of the two specimens above (from Guangdong, 22.570411639° N, 113.99317344° E) matches completely with the description of A. nivealis , including the body colour and the absence of notauli ( Fig. 15A–B View Fig ). On the contrary, the other specimen (from Guangdong, 23°3′9″ N, 113°23′23″ E) is whiter and seems to have shallow traces of notauli reaching about 0.5 × length of mesoscutum ( Fig. 15C–D View Fig ). The genetic distance between the two specimens is only 0.6%, suggesting that the variations are just intraspecific. These records indicate that A. nivealis is present both in the Eastern Palaearctic and the Oriental regions.
