Xiphidiopsis (Dinoxiphidiopsis) jacobsoni Gorochov, 1993 : Zoosystematica Rossica, 2(1):68; Kim & Pham, 2014: Zootaxa, 3811(1):71.

Material examined. 2♂, Sanlian village, Longzhou County, Guangxi province, 2013. VII.14–17, alt. 300 m, leg.

Discussion. Those 2 males we colleceted from Sanlian Conservation Station of Nonggang National Nature Reserve are very simlar to the line art of Gorochov, but posterior process of 10th abdominal tergite wider, protuding apical part of specialized subgenital plate seems larger, and apex of cerci expanded (fig. 74), but in consideration of geographic variation, varying degrees of graphic distortion and more and more Vietnamese species recorded in Guangxi province, we regarded this Guangxi species Xiphidiopsis (Dinoxiphidiopsis) jacobsoni .

Distribution. China (Guangxi); Vietnam (Vinhphu Province, Tan Dao ).
