Material examined. 53, China: Yunnan Prov., Jinghong, 750m, 5 xii 1999, coll. Qin Daozheng; 43, China: Yunnan Prov., Jinghong, 750m, 5 xii 1999, coll. I. Dworakowska; 13, China: Yunnan Prov., Jinghong, Bubeng, at light, 4 viii 2010, coll. Zhang Meng.

Distribution: China (Yunnan, Taiwan).

Remarks. Body small, but relatively robust compared with other Kapsa , head with eyes as wide as pronotum; abdominal apodemes ( Fig. 16 a) long, extended to 5th sternite; pygofer side ( Fig. 16 b) with macrosetae at lower basal angle; subgenital plate ( Fig. 16 d) with reduced stout microsetae at subbasal margin; apex of paramere ( Fig. 16 e) distinctive from that of other Kapsa ; connective ( Fig. 16 f) with central lobe extremely narrow. These characters do not conform to the diagnosis of Kapsa , but match Tautoneura very well.
