Comparative notes.

Nazeris alatus is very similar to N. yanzhuqii Hu & Qiao, 2019 in general appearance, but can be separated by the midline of the pronotum with short and narrow impunctate elevation posteriorly ( Hu and Li 2017: 337, fig. 15); by the shorter and narrower ventral process of the aedeagus, and by the narrower dorso-lateral apophyses of the aedeagus ( Hu and Li 2017: 337, fig. 18).

Distribution and habitat data.

The species is known only from Huaping in northeast Guangxi (Fig. 27 ). The specimens were collected by sifting leaf litter at altitudes of 1700-1800 m.
