Description

Amaurodera cameroni ASSING, 2003

Material examined: India: 2 exs., Arunachal Pradesh, Etalin env., 28°37'N, 95°53'E, 700 m, sifted, 12.–15.V.2012, leg. Dembický (ZMFK, cAss).

Comment: The previously known distribution included Nepal and North India eastwards to Assam. The above specimens represent the first record from Arunachal Pradesh (ASSING 2003, 2005a, 2009, 2015c).

YAN & LI (2015a) suggest that A. cameroni may be conspecific with A. yunnanensis PACE, 1998. In the latter, however, the ventral process of the aedeagus is much more convex subapically (lateral view), the crista apicalis of the aedeagus is longer, and the spermatheca differs by a shorter distal portion and a longer and terminally convex proximal portion of the capsule (A. cameroni: proximal portion distinctly truncate). For illustrations of the intraspecific variation of the genitalia of A. cameroni see ASSING (2003), for figures of A. yunnanensis see YAN & LI (2015a) and PACE (1998).
