Anaplecta arcuata Deng & Che in Deng et al., 2020: 89-90.

Material examined.

China • 1 male and 1 female; Hainan Prov.; Qiongzhong County, Mt. Limu ; 19°110.59'N, 109°43.77'E; 650 m; 20 June 2020; Rong Chen, Li-Kang Niu, leg.; SWU-B-B-A060459 and 060460 .

Male genitalia.

On the basis of careful observation, we suspect that the L2d mentioned by Deng et al. (2020) may be the degraded right phallomere.

Female genitalia.

Supra-anal plate nearly symmetrical. Paraprocts broad, not extending to the posterior margin of supra-anal plate. Intercalary sclerite slender. First valve robust. Second valve small, basally fused. Third valve broad. The anterior margin of anterior arch slightly sclerotized, extending forward in a flaky shape with a deep concave in the middle. Basivalvula nearly elliptic with dense punctuations. Vestibular sclerite sheet-like (Fig. 17D, E ). Laterosternal shelf slightly sclerotized, lateral margin slightly curved (Fig. 17F ).

Distribution.

China (Hainan).
