Comparative notes.

Nazeris nanlingensis is very similar to N. rubidus Hu, Luo & Li, 2018a from the same locality in general appearance and aedeagal characters, but can be separated by the smaller forebody size; less dense punctation of the head and pronotum ( Hu et al. 2018a: 177, fig. 14); a wider ventral process and slenderer dorso-lateral apophyses of the aedeagus in ventral view ( Hu et al. 2018a: 177, fig. 17).

Distribution and habitat data.

The species is known from Nanling in northern Guangdong and Mangshan in southern Hunan (Fig. 27 ). The specimens were collected by sifting leaf litter at altitudes of 1100-1850 m.
