Examined material. 1 male and 3 females including 1 mating pair ( HIST), Henan Province, Xinyang, Shang-cheng County, Jingangtai , mao’erfeng, N31°44.42' E115°29.26, 261–353 m, 2015.IV.18, Weihai Li ; 1 male ( HIST), Henan Province, Xinyang, Shangcheng County, Jingangtai , Xihe , 31°73.85’ E115°55’79’’, Weihai Li ; 1 male ( HIST), Henan Province, Xinyang, Shangcheng County, Huangbaishan Valley , 2015.IV.21, W.H.

VI.7, Weihai Li & Ying Wang ; 1 male and 2 females ( HIST), Henan Province, Luoyang, Song County, Baiyun Mount. , 1502m, E111° 49’26.08” N33°39’42. 50”, 2015.VII.14, Weihai Li .

Female. Color pattern similar to male. Sternum 7 without pregenital plate. Subgenital plate of sternum 8 fully sclerotized, generally pentagonal and covering nearly the entire length and slightly touching anterior margin of sternum 9, the width barely ½ of segment width; plate with wide but shallow medial triangular notch. The paragenital plate paired and brown, subrectangular and attached laterally to the subgenital plate.

Remarks. A female was originally described with the holotype of I. auriformis as the female of this species because both were collected at the same locality. However, this specifically described female did not occur with males of I. auriformis at the above localities. Our female was positively associated from mating pairs. It is concluded that the female originally associated with the original description of I. auriformis was based on an erroneously associated female and that this female is treated herein as an unidentified Indonemoura female.
