Distribution.

Palaearctic Region: China [Hong Kong, new record: 1♂, Shing Mun, 24 May 2010, Atwood Chiu (on loan to IZCAS by V Yiu, Accession No. CO160601)]. Oriental Region: Laos; Vietnam ( Holzschuh 2017).

Macau records.

Great Taipa, 9 May 2019, on pile of dead wood in barbeque area, R Perissinotto & L Clennell (IZCAS); ibidem 7 May 2021, [in ablution block], Lynette Clennell (https://www.inaturalist.org/observations/77993530).

Remarks.

This species represents a new record for China and the broader Palaearctic Region. The two specimens recorded during this survey exhibit a total length of 6-7 mm and a maximum width of 1-1.5 mm. One specimen was active during daytime, flying above a pile of dead wood, while the second specimen was recovered from an ablution block, where it had likely been attracted by artificial lights during the night.
