Intraspecific variation. Specimens of A. trochanterica from Yunnan ( Figs. 6, 7 , 14, 19, 24 ), Sichuan ( Figs. 8 , 12, 17, 22 ) and Xizang ( Figs. 9 , 13, 18, 23 ) show different luster of dorsal part of the body and different depth of elytral striae. Additionally, parameres of male genitalia show different shapes in profile: basal process of parameres sub-triangular at apical half in the specimens from Sichuan ( Fig. 22 ) and Xizang ( Fig. 23 ), rounded in the speci- mens from Yunnan ( Fig. 24 ); apex of parameres in the specimens from Sichuan ( Fig. 22 ) wider than the specimens from Xizang ( Fig. 23 ) and Yunnan ( Fig. 24 ), but apex of parameres in the specimens from Xizang ( Fig. 23 ) more processed towards dorsum than the specimens from Yunnan ( Fig. 24 ).

Distribution. China (new country record): Yunnan, Xizang, Sichuan; India; Bhutan; Nepal.

Remarks. This species was known from Bhutan, India (Sikkim) and Nepal ( Arrow 1917; Zorn & Bezděk 2016), and is here newly recorded from China.
