Sapindaceae: Nephelium mutabile, Nephelium lappaceum (Evans, 2008); Phyllanthaceae: Baccaurea ramiflora. Distribution. China (Yunnan); Malaysia (Evans 2008). Material examined. China • Yunnan, Wangtianshu Scenic Spot, 21°37'18"N, 101°35'17"E, alt. 755 m, 4 puparia on 1 slide, 1.viii.2023, leg. Qing-Song Lin, Lin-Qian Lu & Xiao Zhang, on Baccaurea ramiflora, deposited in ZAFU. Remarks. The examined specimens agree with Aleuroclava bifurcata in having cephalic and first abdominal setae that extend beyond the body margin, median tubercles on the abdominal segments, and a matching number of marginal setae. The only divergence lies in the thoracic and caudal tracheal openings, which are distinctly thickened and sharpened in our specimens.
