Type material.

Not examined. The description was based on a single male specimen (holotype) Yunnan (Mengzhe), China and is deposited in Kunming Institute of Zoology, the Chinese Academy of Science as per the original description.

Note.

See the note under D. laticeps comb. nov. This species was originally described in Acesines Stål, but is similar to members of Dunnius in external morphology and male genitalia in the shapes of paramere, genital capsule (shape of caudolateral lobes, ventral and dorsal rims), and shape of phallus, which are similar to that of D. barpetensis sp. nov. The absence of metasternal notch and the short basal abdominal tubercle, which is not in contact with metasternum (see under the note of D. laticeps ), is evident from the description and ventral habitus image of this species by Fan (2011: 575, fig. 221). This also indicates that Acesines trifasciatus is congeneric with Dunnius and hence transferred from Acesines to Dunnius in this paper.
