Remarks.

This species was described on the basis of female types, and its locality is not accurate within China. Here the abdominal sternite VIII (Fig. 34) of the female is illustrated for the first time: it is largely and roundly emarginated in middle and both sides of posterior margin, the portion between middle and lateral emarginations acute-angled at apex.
