Lathrobium sp. 2

Material examined:

1 ♀: “ CHINA (N-Yunnan) Zhongdian [today: Shangri- La] Co., 36 km ESE Zhongdian, 3500-3550 m, 27°40.9'N, 100°01.5'E (overgrown rock hillside with old mixed forest, bamboo, dead wood, leaf litter) 23.-24.VIII.2003 D.W. Wrase ” (cSch) ; 1 ♀: same data, but leg Smetana (cSme) .

Comment:

The above specimens probably represent an undescribed species similar and evidently closely related to L. incurvatum , but distinguished by somewhat smaller body size (body length 8.5-9.5 mm; length of forebody 4.0- 4.1 mm).
