Scelimena nitidogranulosa Günther, 1938 View in CoL

Scelimena nitidogranulosa: Günther 1938a, 1955 View in CoL , Liang & Zheng 1998, Zheng 2005, Deng 2016.

Type material examined. 1♀ HOLOTYPE China: Canton Leg. S. Mell ( MfN). The photo of the holotype is available online in OSF. Ventrolateral spines of the holotype are broken.

Type locality: PR China: Guangdon : Guangzhou [= Canton in Günther (1938)].

Notes. The species is here assigned to Scelimena bellula species group, based on its similarity to S. bellula and S. rosacea . Deng (2016) reported specimen of this species from Guangdong (Ruyuan), Hainan (Nada, Changjiang, Chengmai, Ding'an, Qiongshan), and Fujian (Wuyishan). We are not sure if drawings from Liang & Zheng (1998) really represent this species—vertex in this specimen is much wider than in the holotype.
