Anaulacaspis schuelkei ( ASSING, 2001)

( Map 7 )

Cordalia schuelkei ASSING, 2001: 116 ff.

Comment: The original description is based on a unique holotype from “the Qin Ling Shan in Shaanxi ( China)” ( ASSING 2001). The species was moved to Anaulacaspis by ASSING (2009). For a detailed description and illustrations of tergite VIII and the male primary and secondary sexual characters see ASSING (2001). Based on the chaetotaxy of tergite VIII (marginal setae unmodified; postero-laterally without a cluster of long setae on either side) and on the morphology of the aedeagus, the species is tentatively assigned to the A. naevula group.

Distribution: This species is currently known only from the type locality in the Qinling Shan in Shaanxi ( Map 7 ).
