Plectrocnemia jonam (Malicky 1993) , new record

( Fig. 5 )

Polyplectropus jonam Malicky 1993: 1114 (male); type locality: India.

The male genitalia of the single specimen are closely congruent with those of P. jonam from India, differing only in that the apices of the paramere spines in the Chinese specimens are not obviously armed with teeth as in P. jo na m. Since we do not have sufficient specimens for dissection, we prefer to consider it a variant of P. j o n a m.

Specimens examined. Si-chuan Province: Ya-jiang County, N30.0°, E101.0°, 10 km W. of tributary of Yalong River, alt. 2830 m, 14 June 1996, Coll. Yang L-f. and Wang X-h., 1 male.

Distribution. China (Si-chuan); India, Vietnam.
