Kamimuria grandispinata Du & Sun, 2011

( Figs. 3–4 )

Examined material. 2 males ( IZCAS), Hunan Province, Sangzhi County, Tianpingshan, Nanmuping Village , 495m, 2014.X.23, light trap, N 29.7424°, E 110.0487°, Jian Yao .

Distribution. Hunan and Guizhou provinces of China.

Remarks. Our two specimens have an identical head pattern, spination of terga 9-10 and hemitergal lobes as indicated in the original description and illustrations by Du & Sun (2011). Importantly, these specimens have nearly identical armatures and a similar shape of the everted aedeagus. The slightly oblique dorsal and ventral views of the everted aedeagus of the holotype by Du & Sun (2011) show a ventral triangular lobe less prominent near the unique, largest paired spines of aedeagal apex. This and other slight differences in the shape of aedeagus may the result of the process of everting the aedeagus. The characteristic dorsal spines in K. grandispinata are similar to those in K. circumspina , but the large spines in that species are not forked.
