Authors/Creators
Description
Atheta (Microdota) excaecata ASSING 2009: 497 f.
M a t e r i a l e x a m i n e d: China: 13 exs., Yunnan, Nujiang Lisu Pref., Gaoligong Shan, "Cloud pass" pass 21 km NW Liuku, 25°58'N, 98°41'E, 3150 m, shrubs and bamboo, litter sifted, 2.-3.IX.2009, leg. Schülke (cSch, cAss).
C o m m e n t: The original description is based on a single female (ASSING 2009); the type locality is identical to the locality where the above specimens were collected. An examination of the male sexual characters (Figs 18-19, 36-37) revealed that the species belongs to Oroekklina PACE 1999. From the other three species of the genus, O. daxuensis PACE 1999 (Sichuan), O. proiecta ASSING 2002 (Sichuan), and O. smetanai PACE 2004 (Yunnan), it is readily distinguished by the much paler coloration (whole body reddishyellow) alone.
