Discussion.
Linan megalobus was originally described from Kuankuoshui Nature Reserve (宽阔水自然保护区) in Guizhou, and placed as a member of the L. cardialis -group ( Yin et al. 2011). The population from Hubei shows little variation in external morphology (Figure 10 A–J) compared to that from the type locality, but possesses distinctly broader parameres of the aedeagus (Figure 10 K–M). The present new record extends the range of this species some 280 km to the southwest.
