Unknown.

Distribution

China (Henan, Zhejiang, Fujian, Guangdong, Guangxi) ( Fig. 20 View Fig ), Cambodia, Laos.

Remarks

The specimens (numbered ZJUH 822502, 851898) belonging to the type series of Sulcomesitius rectus Xu, He & Terayama, 2003 , the specimen numbered 954190 being identified as S. vechti Móczár, 1979 and the specimens numbered 991803 and 940245 as S. laoensis Móczár, 1976 were included in the genus Sulcomesitius by Xu et al. (2003) because of the obtuse anterior corners of the clypeus laterally, the mesoscutum with median mesonotal sulcus being well developed and the PPP long and with a sharp apex in dorsal view, whereas the shape of the hypopygium, which is the main character for the generic identification of the males, was not examined. After re-examination of all the specimens mentioned above, we transferred them to the species Zimankos cambodianus under the genus Zimankos because all of them have the hypopygium with the posterior branches filamentary (lobose in Sulcomesitius ) ( Fig. 17I View Fig ), the dorsal harpe of the genitalia is filamentary and distinctly narrower than the ventral harpe (S-shaped or 8-shaped, at least as wide as the ventral harpe in Sulcomesitius ) and the dorsal pronotal area has the anterolateral corner projected (weakly projected in Sulcomesitius ).
