Descriptive notes.
Male. Aedeagus: basal piece obviously longer than dorsal plate of each paramere (Fig. 5A-C View Figure 5 ); ventral process of each paramere thin and nearly straight, approaching to each other in ventral view (Fig. 5A View Figure 5 ) and inclining dorsally in lateral view (Fig. 5C View Figure 5 ); dorsal plates of parameres feebly longer than ventral processes (Fig. 5A, C View Figure 5 ), with outer margins converging apically in dorsal view, apical margins truncate at apices (Fig. 5B View Figure 5 ); laterophyse feebly shorter than ventral process, with apices acute and directing dorso-outwards (Fig. 5C View Figure 5 ).
Female. Internal organ of reproductive system (Fig. 14C View Figure 14 ): spermatheca feebly longer than diverticulum; accessory gland ~ 1.2 × longer than spermatheca.
Abdominal sternite VIII (Fig. 16G View Figure 16 ): triangular emargination in middle and rounded emarginations on both sides of posterior margin, lateral emarginations obviously deeper and wider than the middle one, the portion between lateral and middle emarginations narrow and acute at apices, obviously extending over apices of latero-apical angles, which are rounded.
Distribution.
China (Shaanxi, Hubei).
Remarks.
The aedeagus of this species was illustrated only in ventral and lateral views by Švihla (2004). Here, the aedeagus is illustrated in ventral, dorsal, and lateral views, and female internal genitalia is illustrated for the first time. Additionally, the distribution range of this species is expanded, with geographic records added from Hubei province.
