Remarks. The single female may represent an undescribed species. And we have tried to get more specimens every year since 2008, but still not succeed. The species is similar to Dianous hubeiensis Tang & Huang, 2018 from Hubei in appearance, but can be distinguished from the latter by the sparser punctation of fore body.
