Nazeris zhujianqingi Hu & Li, 2016: 475 ; Hu & Pan, 2018: 149.

Additional material examined. 8 males, 6 females, ‘ China: Xizang, Cona County, Lebu Valley , pass to Mama Vill., 27°50′16″N, 91°45′48″E, 2400–2700 m, 04.vii.2021, Z. Peng, Z. Yin & W. Zhang leg. (ƱAEOiDZƂḆssfflŵNj ş) ’; 1 male, 4 females, same data, except ‘ 27°53′39″N, 91°47′41″E, 1900–2100 m, 05.vii.2021. (ƱAEOiDZƂḆ ssffl)’ ( SNUC) .

Comment. The species is very similar to N. flavapicalis Assing, 2014 in general appearance and aedeagal characters, but can be separated by the sparser punctation of the head ( Hu et al. 2016: 476, Fig. 9 ), by the shorter and wider ventral process of the aedeagus in lateral view ( Hu et al. 2016: 476, Fig. 13).

Distribution and habitat data. The species is known only from Cona County, in Southern Xizang ( Fig. 10D ). The specimens were collected by sifting leaf litter in a mixed forest at an altitude of 1900–2700 m.
