The currently known distribution is illustrated in Map 1. The ventral process of the aedeagus (Fig. 29) is apically slightly more slender in the above male than in the two males seen from China, but since no additional distinguishing characters were observed, this difference is attributed to intra- rather than interspecific variation.</p></div>	https://treatment.plazi.org/id/03E287842F3FCD765AE6CA5DFD5CFB66	Public Domain	No known copyright restrictions apply.

Both syntypes were located in the collections of the BMNH and are in fact males. One of them is designated as the lectotype. Preliminary studies suggest that this species does not belong to Lathrobium, but to a probably undescribed genus of Lathrobiina, of which I have seen several other species from the East Palaearctic region. They will be dealt with in a separate study (ASSING in press) .</p></div>	https://treatment.plazi.org/id/03E287842F29CD615AE6CC68FC88FE29	Public Domain	No known copyright restrictions apply.
