Horniella nakhi Yin & Li, 2014: 25.

Material examined.

1 ♂, 1 ♀, labeled 'Mt. Jizu Shan {鸡足山, ca. 25°58'N, 100°23'E} (2130 m), Binchuan {宾川县}, NW Yunnan, China, 25.X.1995, Coll. Y. Watanabe & Xiao N. / Horniella nakhi Yin & Li, 2014, det. Z.W. Yin, 2015' (NSMT).

Distribution.

This species was known from one male and two females collected in Naxi Autonomous County. The present record extends its distribution to the Jizu Mountain, ca. 90 km south from the type locality.

Comments.

The population from Jizu Mountain exhibits a stouter aedeagal form and different structure of the endophallus (Fig. 5 D–E). These are attributed to intraspecific variation because all other male diagnostic features, e.g. the strongly projecting apical portion of the protibiae, seem quite stable.
