Nipponentomon cf. heterothrixi Yin & Xie, 1993

Material examined.

2 males, locality 5, 16-IX-2011, coll. Y. Bu, C. W. Huang, M. Potapov & V. Alpatov.

Distribution.

Russia (Far East, Primorsky Krai). New for Russia.

Notes.

The present species has nearly the same body chaetotaxy (with P2 a’ on mesonotum and metanotum) and the shape of sensilla on foretarsus as in Nipponentomon heterothrixi described from Northeast China, but differs by presence of setae P3a on tergites II–V which are absent in Nipponentomon heterothrixi . Insufficient material does not allow describing a new species.
