Liroetis tibialis Jiang, 1988

( Fig. 116 View Figs 108–117 )

Liroetis tibialis Jiang, 1988: 190 , 197 (original description).

Liroetis tibialis : JංൺඇǤ (1992): 658 (noted); Bൾൾඇൾඇ (2010): 478 (catalogue); YൺඇǤ et al. (2015): 247 (key), 250 (noted).

Type locality. ‘[ China:] Yunnan: Lushui Co.’.

Type material. Not examined.

Diagnosis. Body length. JJ: 9.0 mm.

Aedeagus in lateral view ( Fig. 116 View Figs 108–117 ): Median lobe slightly regularly bent in apical two thirds; lateral elevation low, placed in anterior third of aedeagus length. Dorsal process in lateral view: basal two thirds narrow, almost straight, apical third wider, apex pronounced to hook-like process directed upwards.

Differential diagnosis. I have not have an oportunity to study the type material of Liroetis tibialis yet. Based on the original description, L. tibialis is very similar to L. flavipennis . Both species show only slight differences in the structure of aedeagus (cf. Figs 108, 116 View Figs 108–117 ). At the moment, I treat L. tibialis as a valid species; however, it might prove to be a synonym of L. flavipennis in the future.

Distribution. China: Yunnan (JංൺඇǤ 1988).
