Stegana (Steganina) nigripes Zhang & Chen, 2015

( Fig. 20A–C )

Stegana (Steganina) nigripes Zhang & Chen, 2015: 135 .

Remarks. Since the terminalia of the only male specimen was partly damaged (probably eaten by a cockroach) and undescribed, the specimens collected from Yingjiang, Yunnan showed no other significant morphological differences with the type material of S. (S.) nigripes from Menghai, Yunnan. They were conservatively identified as conspecific.

Description. Female terminalia ( Fig. 20A–C ): Epiproct and cercus with numerous setae, lacking pubescence ( Fig. 20A ). Eighth sternite about 2 times as wide as long, with equally distributed numerous prensisetae ( Fig. 20B ). Hypoproct with numerous setae and much pubescence ( Fig. 20C ).

Specimens examined. CHINA: 1♂ ( SCAU, No. 125409, DNA #1985) , 1♀ ( SCAU, No. 125408, DNA #1981), Tongbiguan, Yingjiang , Yunnan, 24°37'04''N, 97°40'03''E, 19.v.2016, alt. 1310m, 13.v.2016, ex tussock, J.
