Remarks
Li
et al
. (2015)
described
Miridiba taoi
based on a male
holotype
and
two male
paratypes
. We were unable to examine the types of
M. taoi
to study its characters. Hence,
M. taoi
is considered a valid species. According to antenna 9-segmented and parameres (
Li
et al
. 2015
) this species is included in genital morphotype I “
Trichophora
”.
