Remarks. Ischnosoma convexum is widely distributed in Asia, from India eastwards to Japan, Indonesia and the Solomon Islands. In China, the distribution seems to be restricted to the southern half of the country (Fig. 64). The above records from Fujian, Sichuan, and Zhejiang are new province records.
