Well-built weapons, robust, good size with total length of about 3-3.5 cm (1.5" inches), relatively new found specie

Hestiasula wuyishana Yang et Wang,1999

 
Looks like some already existing species. I doubt that giving them a new name was justified. Probably it will end up as a synonym when the genus is revised, as in many Chinese taxa described the last three decades. We'll see.
