( Figs. 6 View FIGURES 1–9 , 19 View FIGURES 10–20 )
Magnificus zhiduoensis Yan (2000: 3) .— Wang & Yao (2011: 4)
Reference material. Holotype ♀, GAAH: China, Qinghai, Zhiduo, Deer farm, 4,400–4,600m, 22.VII.1996. Three paratypes, same location and date as holotype ( Fig. 6 View FIGURES 1–9 ).
Original description ( Yan 2000). “Wingspan male: 45 mm female 53 mm. Labial palps two segmented on left and single segment on right [probably an aberration]; FW outer band with white reaching posterior margin; veins R2 and R3 shorter than stalk vein. Male HW anterior to medial cell and veins brown and grey, remainder white, and white patch at apical angle. Female HW brown and grey. Dorsal plate of female genitalia with medial V-shaped notch, subanal plate narrow and rectangular, antevaginalis dorsal margin with shallow points either side of shallow medial concavity, ventral margin medially broad and smooth, lateral angles narrow and lightly sclerotized.”
Etymology. Presumably derived from Zhiduo, the name of the type locality.
Remarks. Considered by Yan (2000) to be similar in appearance to M. jiuzhiensis where the posterior margin of the dorsal plate is dorsally broad ( Fig. 17 View FIGURES 10–20 ) whereas the central notch in M. zhiduoensis ( Fig. 19 View FIGURES 10–20 ) is narrowly triangular. The FW pattern ( Fig. 30h View FIGURE 30 ) cannot be definitively distinguished from M. jiuzhiensis in the low-resolution image in Yan (2000).
