The new species is similar to Xizicus (Eoxizicus) wuzhishanensis (Liu &amp; Zhang, 2000), but it differs from the latter in posterior margin of male tenth abdominal tergite with 1 pair of long processes (Fig. 1C), interno-ventral margin of proximal part of cercus with a spine-shaped projection (Fig. 1E).</p><p>Etymology. The name of the new species is derived from male cercus with a spine-shaped projection on interno-ventral surface near base, apical area of projection hook-like, the Latin hamatus means hook-shaped.</p><p>Distribution.
