Remarks. We follow Dworakowska (1997) in treating Alebroides dinghuensis Chou & Zhang as a junior synonym of A. flavifrons . However, the status of A. dinghuensis will need to be reconsidered once more material becomes available for comparison ( A. dinghuensis was established based on a single male). The differences of the aedeagus between the two taxa are re-illustrated in Figs 27–30.
