Antiochtha rotunda Zhu & Li, 2009: 21, Syn. nov. TL: China (Guizhou). TD: NKU.

Diagnosis

This species is similar to A. purpurata Zhu & Liu, 2009 in both appearance and male genitalia. It can be distinguished in the male genitalia by the posterolateral lobes of the juxta subacute at the apex, the lateral lobes shorter than the juxta (Fig. 3C–D); and in the female genitalia by the eighth abdominal sternite without a process on the anterior margin (Fig. 4C). In A. purpurata, the posterolateral lobes are straight at the apex, the lateral lobes are as long as the juxta (Zhu & Li 2009: 23, fig. 2c), and the eighth abdominal sternite has a process at middle on the anterior margin (Zhu & Li 2009: 24, fig. 3b).

Remarks

Antiochtha rotunda Zhu & Li, 2009 is synonymized with A. jianfengensis Zhu & Li, 2009 . Antiochtha rotunda is identical to A. jianfengensis in appearance, venation, as well as in the female genitalia, and differs only by the sacculus more produced distally in the male genitalia (Fig. 3D), hence it should be treated as an individual variation.
