Thagria albofascia Fan, Dai & Li

Thagria albofascia Fan, Dai & Li 2013: 141 –144, Figs. 1–3 , 7–13

Distribution. China (Guangxi, Yunnan, Hainan).

Material examined. Holotype: ♂, CHINA: Guangxi, Longzhou, 31 May 1997, coll. Wang Lianmin ( GUGC). Paratypes: 1♂, CHINA: Guangxi, Longzhou, Nonggang, 6 May 2012, coll. Fan Zhihua; 3♂, CHINA: Guangxi, Longzhou, Nonggang, 8 May 2012, coll. Li Hu & Yang Nannan; 1♂, CHINA: Yunnan, Xishuangbanna, Menglun, 31 July 2012, coll. Xu Shiyan ( GUGC). 1♂, CHINA: Hainan, Bawangling, 15 April 2014, coll. Long Jiankun ( GUGC).

Remarks. This species was described from the holotype (male) and five male paratypes from GUGC. It is similar to T. lautereri Nielson, 1977 , T. expanda Freytag, 2010 and T. bicurta Freytag, 2010 in general appearance, but can be distinguished from them by the apex of paraphysis which is entire ( Fan et al. 2013: 143, Fig. 9 ), not bifurcate as in the other three species ( Nielson 1977: 25, Fig. 34 ; Freytag 2010: 420, Figs. 19, 24 ), by the basal two processes of paraphysis longer in T. albofascia ( Fan et al. 2013: 143, Fig. 9 ) than in T. bicurta ( Freytag 2010: 420, Fig. 24 ), by the pointed apex of ventral processes of segment X ( Fan et al. 2013: 143, Fig. 7 ) and which is not semiglobular as in T. lautereri ( Nielson 1977: 25, Fig. 31 ) and not triangulate as in T. expanda ( Freytag 2010: 420, Fig. 16 ).
