Remarks. A widely distributed species in Oriental China, but also known from the Palaearctic Region of China into Ningxia. This species was described from Giuzhou Province, later reported from Ningxia, Shaanxi, Henan, Sichuan, Hubei, Hunan, Zhejiang, Jiangxi, Fujian, Yunnan, Guangxi and Guangdong (Qian & Du 2014, Yang & Li 2016). A male specimen from northern Vietnam was reported with doubt (Harrison & Stark 2008). As mentioned above, this species can be easily distinguished on the basis of long setae of the antenna (Fig. 20–21). In addition, we provide a figure of the female terminalia (Fig. 19) that is similar to the one illustrated from Sichuan by Sivec et al. (2008: fig. 23.12) as member of the R. furcospina complex.
