Remarks. When Bi (2018) revised the genus Echinovelleda, only this species of the genus was considered to be valid. Therein, the APH of male endophallus of Echinovelleda was described as “not subdivided”. However, based on an extensive investigation among this species and most subsequently described species undertaken in this study, the APH of this species is reconsidered as “subdivided into ab and bb” for a homological comparison, which with a detailed definition shown in Fig. 21a and is included in the generic description, and that is the same treatment for E. inermis .
