Aclees foveatus Voss 1932

Aclees foveatus Voss, 1932 Figs 6E, 7 Aclees foveatus Voss,1932: 295. Type locality: China, Yunnan, Soling-ho. This species was described based on 3 female specimens, collected in Yunnan, valley of the river Soling-ho (now Shaguo River, 26°0.923’N 101°52.998’E). The type series is conserved at NHMB. We selected one specimen as the lectotype. It bears the labels: China / Prov. Yunnan / Vallis flumin. / Soling-ho (pr) // Aclees / foveatus m. (hw) / Det. E. Voβ (pr) // Aclees foveatus / Voss, 1932 / LECTOTYPUS / Meregalli & Boriani des. (red). The other two specimens have the same locality labels, and are labeled as paralectotypes. A fourth female specimen conserved in NHMB, slightly different morphologically, has a handwritten label China / Prov. Yunnan / Soling-ho // Aclees / F. Zumpt det. 35? / davidi Frm. Due to incomplete knowledge of the Aclees from China, we prefer, for the time being, to use this name only for the type specimens. Distribution. China: central Yunnan.
