Remarks. Acrolocha wahuiense Zhong, Zhao & Li, 2009 was originally described from “Mt. Wahui, Sichuan ...”.

Besides that, some specimens have very dense and sparse microreticulation in the middle of the pronotum, while other specimens are with very indistinct meshes or without it. Some studied specimens have larger body size (2.50 mm) than that in the original description (1.75–2.18 mm).Aedeagus as in Figs. 1–2 ; male abdominal tergite VIII as in Fig. 3 ; male abdominal sternite VIII as in Fig. 4 ; female abdominal tergite VIII as in Fig. 5 ; female abdominal sternite VIII as in Fig. 6 ; female accessory sclerite as in Fig. 7 ; spermatheca as in Fig. 8 .
