Euryobeidia ellipsoidea Xiang & Han, 2017 , Zootaxa 4317 (2): 372.

Type material examined.

For figures of the male holotype and a female paratype, their genitalia and detailed type material data from IZCAS and ZFMK, see Xiang et al. (2017).

Additional material examined.

China – Sichuan Province • 1 ♀; “ Chasseurs indigènes de Tâ-tsien-lou, Récolte de 1910 ”; Kangding; 1910; local collectors; coll. Charles Oberthür, ex coll. Wehrli, ZFMK .

Diagnosis.

This species is shown for comparison with Euryobeidia xuei sp. nov. Diagnostic characters are provided under E. xuei sp. nov. A female paratype in excellent condition deposited in the ZFMK collection is figured here for the first time (Fig. 18 ). Moreover, an additional female of larger size and rather untypical pattern is shown (see Fig. 9 ), discovered under ZFMK material during the present study (identified by genitalia dissection, gen. prep. no. 2459 - DS).

Distribution.

China ( Gansu, Sichuan, Shaanxi).
