Achmonia nigra (BORDONI 2009)

M a t e r i a l s t u d i e d: Zhejiang, Longwang-shan N. P., Dongguan, 1250 m, Feng, Liu, Yuan & Yin 26.V.2009, 1 (SNUC).

G e o g r a p h i c a l d i s t r i b u t i o n The species, described from Zhejiang (Tianmu Shan) ( BORDONI 2009d), is known from this county only. This is the first subsequent record of the species since it was described.

N o t e: The genus Achmonia BORDONI 2004 (= Daolus BORDONI 2004) was described for a species from Java.

By studying species of Thyreocephalus , I realized that some of them should be transferred to the genus Achmonia . The genus Achmonia seems to have a distribution similar to that of Thyreocephalus , even if the currently known species are still few. This genus is kown until now from NE India, Nepal, Sikkim, Bhutan, Burma, Thailand, Laos, Malaysia, Java, Taiwan, Australia, and China: Zhejiang ( BORDONI 2012c). In these pages the genus Achmonia is cited also from Yunnan, Hainan and Jiangxi.
