[Misidentification.]  Themus( Haplothemus) licenti:  Yang et al., 2013: 7, Fig. 3.    Typematerial examined. Holotypefemale ( MNHN): [p]“CHANSI.

Yuan-Yuan Lu; 2 males, 1 female( MHBU): Henan, Songxian, Baiyunshan, 17.VII.2008, leg. Guang-Lin Xie; 2 males, 1 female( MHBU): Hebei, Zhuolu, Yangjiaping, 10.‒24.VII.2005, leg. Jing Li & Hui-Ran Hua; 1 male, 1 female( MHBU): Beijing, Baihuashan, 1100m, 19.VIII.2000, leg. Da-Kang Zhou.   Distribution. China(Beijing, Hebei, Shanxi, Henan, Shaanxi, Sichuan).  Supplementary description.Female. Abdominal sternite VIII ( Fig. 5B) widely and roundly emarginated in middle of posterior margin, which is nearly triangular at apex of lateral portion beside middle emargination. Internal reproductive organ of genitalia ( Fig. 7): vagina stout, with diverticulum and spermatheca situated at apex, median oviduct in middle of ventral side; diverticulum boot-shaped, stout, nearly straight at apex and distinctly expanded on dorsal side; spermatheca sac-shaped, slightly short and distinctly expanded apically, provided with a slightly short and thin accessory gland near base; diverticulum and spermatheca surrounded with a strongly sclerotized ring at base, which is confluent in middle and extending to median oviduct on ventral side, the opening of spermatheca arising from middle of the sclerotized ring on dorsal side.   Remarks.  Themus licenti Pic, 1938was synonymized with  T. coriaceipennis( Fairmaire, 1889)by Wittmer (1983), but recently it was resurrected by Yang et al. (2013). In the present study, the female genitalia of both species and the aedeagus of the latter species were available for comparison, which are distinctly different from each other, so both species were confirmed as valid.
