Michael Schülke
(together with the author) in the localities in eastern
Yunnan
in 2014 is deposited in cSch
.
C o m m e n t: The original description of
H. splendens
is based on
four specimens
from two localities situated to the south of Tengchong in western Yunnan (
ASSING 2008
). The above records reveal that the species is rather common and widespread in Yunnan. It does not seem unlikely that it may eventually be found also in adjacent Chinese provinces, as well as in
Burma
and
Vietnam
. The currently known distribution is illustrated in
Map 1
.
Interestingly, the number of spines in the internal sac of the aedeagus appears to be remarkably variable.
