Comment. Nazeris luoi (in Hu et al. 2012: 38, Figs 7–12 ) is very similar to N. tani (in Hu et al. 2012: 39, Figs 13–18 ) in external and male sexual characters, but can be separated by the ventral process of aedeagus provided with a pair of apically narrowed processes on dorsal side of the apex.

Distribution and habitat. Nazeris luoi is known only from the Dayao Mountains in middle Guangxi. The specimen was collected by sifting leaf litter at altitudes of 800–1,100 m.
