Material examined

Eight specimens were collected from Ningshan County, five specimens from Mount Taibai .

Remarks

This species was reported as a new record for China from Beijing Municipality and Hebei Province (Rahm 1936–1937b, 1937). It was subsequently collected from Yunnan Province ( Beasley and Cleveland 1996). My specimens fit the description of this species ( Ramazzotti and Maucci 1983; Dastych 1988). It has never been reported from the Tsinling Mountains.
