03D60B085804B577FF5DE83DFB94F95C.taxon	discussion	Remarks. This new species is somewhat similar to Heleodromia (Heleodromia) boreoalpina Saigusa from Japan, but can be easily separated from it by the tips of all femora being dark brownish yellow, the fore femur basally with one row of 5 long pale av setae (longest setae slightly longer than femur thickness), and the surstylus with the acutely pointed tip.
