Paramesodes mokanshanae Wilson View in CoL

( Figs 4–6 View FIGURE 4. P View FIGURE 5. P View FIGURE 6. P ; Plate I: D)

Paramesodes mokanshanae Wilson, 1983: 26 View in CoL , Figs 47–52.

Coloration, structure and male genitalia as described by Wilson (1983).

Material examined. 83, 3ƤƤ, China, Fujian Prov., Shouning County, 30/ 31 July 2003, coll. Duan Yani ( NWAFU).

Distribution. China (Zhejiang, Fujian).

Remarks. The above material runs to P. mokanshanae in Wilson’s (1983) key based on the proximity of the pygofer process to the dorsal margin. However, the examined specimens show considerable variation in the curvature of this structure in dorsal view (see Figs 4–6 View FIGURE 4. P View FIGURE 5. P View FIGURE 6. P ). We consider this variation to be intraspecific, particularly because the specimens studied were from the same locality.
