Sex association. This species was described from both sexes collected from close localities in Hainan, China.

Remarks. This species was regarded as being restricted to Hainan Island and thereby being geographically separated from the continental species Ze. saepes ( Chen, 1957) ( Lelej et al. 2017). However, the occurrence of Ze. pangi in Vietnam suggests their overlapping distribution.
