Comparative notes.

Nazeris gaoleii is very similar to N. jiaweii Hu, Liu & Li, 2018b in general appearance and aedeagal characters, but can be separated by the narrower posterior excision of male sternite VIII ( Hu et al. 2018a: 179, fig. 21), and much shorter dorso-lateral apophyses of the aedeagus ( Hu et al. 2018a: 179, fig. 22).

Distribution and habitat data.

The species is known from Nanling in northern Guangdong and Mangshan in southern Hunan (Fig. 27 ). The specimens were collected by sifting leaf litter at altitudes of 1220-1820 m.
