Rudicollaris obscura Liu, 1999: 131 . (sphalm.) Ruidocollaris obscura Liu, 1999 . syn. nov.

Examined material. 1 male (holotype), 1 male (paratype), 2 females (paratype), China: Guangxi Prov.: Xinan, Maoershan Nature Reserve, 450–650m, Coll. Liu Xianwei, Yin Haisheng ( MSIE); 1 male, China: Guangxi Prov.: Zhongfeng, Coll. Huang jinsun, 1980. VIII.21 ( IZAS, No. 360945); 1 male, China: Guangxi Prov.: Guilin, Maoershan Mt. nature reserve, Gaoping Spot, Coll. Liu Chunxiang, 2007. VII.3 ( IZAS); 5 males, 4 females, China: Guangxi Prov.: Longsheng, Huaping Nature Reserve, Cujiang Spot, 700m, 2007. VII.15–X.5, Coll. Liu Chunxiang ( IZAS).

Additional description. Male stridulatory teeth gradually becoming smaller from middle to both ends, including about 80 distinct stridulatory teeth and 20 indistinct apical stridulatory teeth ( Fig. 27 ).

Measurements (mm). Length of body: male 27.0, female 27.0; of pronotum: male 7.0, female 7.0; height of paranota: male 5.8; length of paranota: male 4.6; of tegmen: male 39.0, female 40.0; largest width of tegmen: male 9.9, female 11.2; length of hind wing: male 42.3, female 42.3; of posterior femur: male 23.0, female 24.0; of apical style of male: 1.12; length of ovipositor 7.0; largest width of ovipositor 3.4.

Discussion. Liu (1999) erroneously spelt the genus Ruidocollaris as “ Rudicollaris ”. At the same time, the generic name of all mentioned species in the genus were spelt by mistake, and this species was also erroneously spelt as “ Rudicollaris obscura Liu , sp. nov. ”, when published. Here we just correct the generic name of the species.

Distribution ( Fig. 98 ). China (Fujian Prov., Guangdong Prov., Guangxi Prov., Sichuan Prov.).
