Material examined. 14 males, China: Zhejiang Prov., Tianmushan , 1936.VI.15–VIII.6, Coll. O. Peil.

Redescription. Stridulatory file on underside of male left tegmen with 89 distinct teeth gradually becoming larger centrad ( Fig. 5F ). Length of mirror on male right tegmen wider than long, and secondary mirror longer than mirror ( Fig. 6F ).

Notes. Atlanticus pieli Tinkham (1941) was described based on male holotype from Tianmushan mountain in Zhejiang Province. Bei-Bienko (1955) considered it a synonym of A. kiangsu . However, after comparing topotypical material of the two species, I conclude that they differ from each other in the shape of the male stridulatory region and stridulatory file. Additionally, after examining one male paratype of A. pieli collected from Shanghai, I considered that it should be identified as A. kiangsu .

Distribution. China (Zhejiang).
