Caryanda xinpingensis Mao, 2017 (Fig. 4: A–J) Chinese common name: KṮẃffñ Caryanda xinpingensis Mao, 2017: Hu, Guan & Mao, 2017: 126–128. Type material examined. Holotype: male, CHINA: Xinhua, Xinping County, Yunnan Province, 29 Jul. 2009, 24°07′N, 101°51′E, 1870 m, coll. Jishan Xu and Jianxiong Zhang. Paratypes: 3 males, 1 female, data same as holotype, 11 males, 16 females, coll. Benyong Mao and Jishan Xu, 11 Aug. 2015, other data same as holotype. Additional material examined. Thirty-nine males, 21 females, CHINA: Xinhua, Xinping County, Yunnan Province, 24°11′N, 101°46′E, 1852 m, 15 Aug. 2022, coll. Zhilong Yin. Distribution. China: Yunnan. Remarks. The species was firstly reported as C. xinpingensis Mao, 2017, with 4 males and 2 females from Xinping county (Xinhua), China, and its mitochondrial genome structure was also studied (Hu et al, 2017). In this paper, after comparing the morphological characteristics of its types and additional materials, mainly based on the furculae almost absent, epiproct shield-shaped (Fig. 4: C), cerci falciform and laterally compressed (Fig. 4: D), epiphallus with outer lophi semicircular (Fig. 4: G–H), ventral basivalvular sclerite with inner margins hardly contiguous with each other, inner margin of ventral ovipositor valves distinctly curved (Fig. 4: E–F), we consider that C. xinpingensis should be included to C. viridis - species group.
