Wunderle (cWun).</p> <p> <b>Comment</b>: Confirmed records of <i>Z. wei</i> 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 <i>Zyras</i> 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.</p> </body> </html>
