Anahita jinsi Jager 2012

Description

Anahita jinsi Jäger, 2012

(Figs 12–18 )

Anahita jinsi Jäger, 2012: 11, f. 28–38.

Material examined. 3 males and 3 females, Fujian Province: Wuyi Mountains, Moshikeng (27°53′N, 117°57′E), 4 June 2013, C. Jin leg.

Diagnosis and description. See Jäger (2012).

Distribution. China (Sichuan, Fujian)

Remark. The specimens of A. jinsi Jäger, 2012 collected from Fujian (Wuyi Mountains) have the following characteristics: embolus arising at three o 'clock; glandular appendages having at least three bends, and distally oval; copulatory ducts running a loop medially. These main characteristics are the same as the description of specimens of A. jinsi collected from Sichuan (Jäger 2012). However, the forepart of the glandular appendages appears at a level slightly different from the illustrations of A. jinsi offered by Jäger. We believe the specimens described by Jäger have these glandular appendages slanting dorsally, but we maintain the difference is due to intraspecific variability. So we identify these specimens from Fujian to be conspecific with A. jinsi Jäger, 2012.
