A d d i t i o n a l m a t e r i a l e x a m i n e d: China, Yunnan: 13, 1♀, Baoshan Pref., mountain range 22 km S Tengchong , 24°49'N, 98°29'E, 1750 m, secondary forest, litter, dead wood sifted, 2.VI.2007, leg.

C o m m e n t: The original description is based on four males from two localities in Yunnan province ( PACE 1998). The holotype is slightly smaller, paler, and has somewhat larger eyes (longer than postocular region in dorsal view), but is in other respects similar to the additional material from Yunnan. Convincing distinguishing characters in the male primary and secondary sexual characters were not found. The habitus and sexual characters, including the previously unknown female sexual characters, are illustrated in Figs 6-12 .
