Figs 54-60 P. (P.) femorata Huang & Viraktamath, 1993: 365; figs 18-28, misidentification. P. (P.) huangi Li & Dai, 2018 in Dai et al. 2018 : 203, figs 127A-F. Treated as a new name for P. (P.) femorata Huang & Viraktamath, 1993 (nec Pediopsis femorata Hamilton, 1980). See Remarks. Material examined. From original figures (see Remarks). Holotype ♂ , China : Taiwan , Taichung , Anmashan , 08.viii.1987 , collected by C. T. Yang ; Paratype : 1 ♀ , same data as holotype except 05.viii.1987 (both National Museum of Natural Science , Taichung , Taiwan) . Description. See description by Huang and Viraktamath (1993) of P. (P.) femorata . Distribution. China (Taiwan). Etymology. The specific epithet is in honor of Dr. Kun-Wei Huang, one of the authors who originally described the species. Remarks. This species was misidentified and described as P. (P.) femorata Hamilton by Huang and Viraktamath (1993) . Later it was renamed as P. (P.) huangi by Dai et al. (2018) (see Li et al. 2023 ) but as these authors had not indicated that it was a new species nor designated a holotype, their name had remained unavailable, and their new species was not valid. Here, we correct these omissions (see above). However unaccountably, images supposedly of the specimens described by Huang & Viraktamath, 1993, sent to the first author by Dr. Huang some years ago, do not match the habitus figures given by these authors. The latter figures show a weakly produced head compared to a greatly produced head in the received images. Unfortunately, enquiries made at the type depository (see above) indicated only an empty box was present containing a note saying that specimens had been removed for imaging. Therefore, for the present, identity of the species rests with figures of the male genitalia, reproduced here from the original (Figs 54-60 ).
