Emei), 1752 M., July 28, 1982, collected by Tian Hua Allotype , Sichuan (Mt. Emei), 1120-1752M., July 25, 1983, collected by Gou Zheng-yue.4.Nazeris qingchengensis sp. nov. (fig. 4)This species is very similar to the above three species, but body smaller, postgenae parallel sided, and pronotum about as long as broad.Length: 3.9 mm.Holotype , Sichuan province (Mt. qingcheng, Guanxian County), 700-1000 M., July 21d 1982, collected by Lu Ying.
