Bradycellus (Tachycellus) grandiceps (BATES, 1873)

Material examined China Hubei: 30 km NE Macheng, 500 m, 25.V.1995, S. Kurbatov (1♂ - ZIN). – Zhejiang: Tianmu Shan, pass 25 km NNW Linan, 620-820 m, 30°25’40’’N / 119°35’30’’E (creek valley, bamboo, mixed forest, litter, sifted), 16.VI.2007, D.W. Wrase [37] (1♂, 1♀ - cWR).

The species was, based on assured identified specimens, hitherto only known from Japan (JAEGER & KATAEV 2003: 401). JAEGER & WRASE (1994: 461) mentioned some specimens (one aberrant male und some immature males and females from Fujian and Zhejiang) which were conditionally identified as B. grandiceps . Above examined material (male genitalia investigated) confirms the occurrence of the species also on the Chinese mainland. First record for the Chinese province of Hubei and a further record for Zheijiang.
