Kamimuria tienmushanensis: Wu, 1938: 53 ; Sivec & Stark, 2008: 137, nomen dubium; Yang & Li, 2018: 32.

Supplementary description: Male coloration mostly dark brown ( Fig. 5A–C ) to black ( Fig. 5D ). Male head with Tshaped dark spot on the ocellar area to anterior to the frontoclypeus ( Figs. 6–7 ). Pronotum has paired bright patterns at the two sides of middle line ( Figs. 6A–C , 7A ), or completely dark brown ( Fig. 7B–C ). Metasternum and sterna 3–7 with setal brush ( Figs. 5C–D ).

Abdomen brown ( Figs. 8–10 ), terga 1–7 unmodified; terga 1–4 with pale pattern except the lateral margins, and the paler areas with “M” shape on terga 5–6 ( Fig. 8 ). Terga 8–10 usually dark brown, with few paler parts. Sensilla basiconica patch occurs on median terga 8–9 ( Figs. 9A–C , 10A–D ), but that on tergum 8 with few sensillae or absent in some individuals ( Figs. 9A, 9C ). Hemitergal lobes slender, hook-like and straight, extending backward to the posterior margin of tergum 9, sometimes heavily curved outward ( Figs. 8–10 ).

Aedeagus membranous and simple in structure ( Figs. 11–12 ); basal half with a paired patches of mediolateral swellings that covered by large spines ( Figs. 11A–B , 12A–B, 12D–E ); distal half with a pair of dorsal swellings covered by fine spines ventrally ( Figs. 11C , 12C, 12F ); apex finger-like (can be everted only by soaking for long time in KOH solution), without spines ( Fig. 11A–C ).

Female coloration similar to males ( Figs. 13A–B ). Abdomen brown, sterna with paired round dark spots. Subgenital plate heavily sclerotized with a pair of posterolateral lobes of which apex rounded and adjacent to each other; the notch between the lobes is “V” shaped ( Fig. 14 ).

Nymph: Unknown.

Egg: Unknown.
