Type material.

Lectotype male (Fig. 100) (ZMUH), pinned, here designated to fix the concept of Paridea sinensis and to ensure the universal and consistent interpretation of the same, labeled (Fig. 101): "Yunnan [h] / Pe Yen Tsin [h, w] // TYPE [red letters, p] ♂ [p] // Paridea [h] / sinensis [h] / m [h] / V.

Diagnosis.

See diagnosis of Paridea (Paridea) taiwana .

Males.

Length 6.5 mm, width 3.6 mm. General color (Fig. 100) yellowish brown, elytra with two pairs of black spots: one at humerus smaller, other subapical and larger; outer margins of femora and tibiae black; metathoracic ventrites black. Eighth abdominal tergite (Fig. 113) weakly sclerotized, transverse and wide, apical margin slightly emarginate at middle, with dense long seta along apical margin. Penis (Fig. 109-110) slender; external process extending anterior, much longer than medial process; medial process small; straight in lateral view.

Females.

Length 6.8 mm, width 3.8 mm. Similar to male; apical margin of last abdominal ventrite smooth, not modified. Gonocoxae (Fig. 111) slender, apex of each gonocoxa with eight setae from apical 1/5 to apex; connection of gonocoxae extremely slender, base widened. Sternite VIII (Fig. 112) weakly sclerotized; apex narrow, apical margin slightly concave at middle, surface with longer setae near apical margin and shorter setae on apical margin, spiculum long. Spermathecal receptaculum (Fig. 114) slightly swollen; pump extremely long, strongly curved; spermathecal duct short, stout, shallowly projecting into receptaculum.

Distribution.

China (Jiangxi, Hubei, Fujiang, Sichuan, Yunnan, Guizhou). The distribution of Paridea (Paridea) sinensis should be reevaluated since specimens collected from Fujian identified by Gressitt & Kimoto are Paridea (Paridea) fujiana Yang, 1991.
