Material examined

Four specimens and one egg were collected from Yunnan Province .

Remarks

This species was reported as a new record for China from Shaanxi Province ( Li 2007). The eggs are spherical, with projections of hemispherical shape, almost in contact with each other at their bases. My specimens fit the description of this species ( Ramazzotti and Maucci 1983). It is the first report of this species from the Yunnan-Guizhou Plateau.
