Wang, Ping, Xie, Guanglin & Wang, Wenkai, 2022, Study on the genus Morimospasma Ganglbauer, 1889 (Coleoptera, Cerambycidae Lamiinae) from Hubei, China, Zootaxa 5115 (4), pp. 532-540 : 537

Morimospasma (Parvopama) granulatum Chiang, 1981

( Figs 1C–D , 4E–H , 5A–D )

Morimospasma granulatum Chiang, 1981: 80 . Type locality: Shaanxi, China.

Morimospasma (Parvopama) granulatum: Bi, 2021: 288 .

Material examined. 1 female, Shaanxi, Mianxian, July , 1958 (only examined by photos) ; 1 male, China: Hubei, Shennongjia Forestry District, Hongping town, Yemahe , E 110°25′06″, N 31°36′54″, Alt. 1227m, June 2, 2018, coll. by Lei Li and Ping Wang .

Distribution. China: Shaanxi, Hubei.

Remarks. Bi (2021) stated that the male tergite VIII of this genus is broadly rounded or truncated apically. However, the apex of tergite VIII of one male specimen of Shengnongjia, Hubei is distinctly emarginate (figs. 4E– F), which is different from mention above. Due to only one specimen has been examined, we tentatively considered it as Morimospasma (Parvopama) granulatum Chiang on the basis of the similar external morphological characters, and the taxonomic status of this specimen needs to be further confirmed in the future.
