Descriptive notes.

Male. Aedeagus: basal piece feebly longer than dorsal plate of each paramere (Fig. 6D-F View Figure 6 ); ventral process of each paramere nearly slender and approaching to each other in ventral view (Fig. 6D View Figure 6 ), nearly vertical in lateral view (Fig. 6F View Figure 6 ); dorsal plates feebly longer than ventral process (Fig. 6D, F View Figure 6 ), with inner margins abruptly diverging near middle, outer margins slightly converging apically, apical margins subrounded (Fig. 6E View Figure 6 ); laterophyse slightly shorter than ventral process, with apices acute and appreciably directing dorso-outwards (Fig. 6D, F View Figure 6 ).

Female. Internal organ of reproductive system (Fig. 13B View Figure 13 ): spermatheca nearly as long as diverticulum; accessory gland ~ 2 × longer than spermatheca.

Abdominal sternite VIII (Fig. 17B View Figure 17 ): rounded emargination in middle and subtriangular emargination on both sides of posterior margin, lateral emarginations deeper and feebly narrower than the middle one, the portion between lateral and middle emarginations wide and widely triangular at apices, extending over apices of latero-apical angles, which are subrounded.

Distribution.

China (Shaanxi, Hubei).

Remarks.

Sometimes the pronotum and vertex have dark brown spots, in both sexes. Only the apical parts of the aedeagus were illustrated by Švihla (2004). Here, the aedeagus is illustrated in general views, and the female internal genitalia is illustrated for the first time.
