Remarks.
After checking the type specimens of
Bhatasca rectangulata
, we found the characters of wing, basal abdominal apodemes and male genitalia described by
Qin et al. (2011)
in mainland China are the same as those of the species described by
Hayashi and Okada (1994)
. Furthermore, the distribution of
Bhatasca rectangulata
has nearly same latitude as the type locality of
Alebrasca actinidiae
Hayashi & Okada in Japan (central Honshu). Therefore, synonymy of the two species is confirmed here.
