Description

Zyras (Zyras) wei PACE, 1993

(Figs 76–77)

Material examined: Laos: 1 ♂, 3 ♀♀, Phongsali Province, Phongsali env., 1300–1500 m, 1–15.V.2004 (cMar, cAss). Vietnam: 1 ♀, 10 km NW Sa Pa, 22°22'N, 103°45'E, 1850 m, moist stream valley with deciduous trees, litter and roots between rocks sifted, 8.VIII.2013, leg. Wunderle (cWun).

Comment: Confirmed records of Z. wei were known from the Chinese provinces Guizhou, Zhejiang, Fujian, and Sichuan (ASSING 2016a). The above specimens from Phongsali represent the first record from Laos. The specimen from Vietnam was reported as Zyras sp. 2 in ASSING (2015). Since it is a female, this record should be considered tentative, also because the elytra are completely blackish. The aedeagus of the male from Laos is illustrated in Figs 76–77.
