Notes. This species was described by
Strand (1920)
on the basis of a single male specimen from Suisharyo [
Shuisheliao,
Chiayi
,
Taiwan
].
Wang (1994)
illustrated a female under the name of “
Naarda blepharota
”, but doubtlessly it is a different species.
Wang
(2001) illustrated the
holotype
of this species preserved in
DEIM
. In the revision of
Naarda
,
Tóth
& Ronkay (2014a) described the female of
N. blepharota
without giving details about how to determine the conspecific status but they did not show any evidence of the identification of this species, they also examined one HNHM female “with data same as
holotype
, not dissected”, this case is peculiar since to our best knowledge there is no other specimen of Strand’s Taiwanese species deposited outside DEIM and as the mention above Strand described this species through a single male specimen. In addition,
Tóth & Ronkay (2015a)
illustrated the male genitalia of
N. blepharota
without any specimen data except for the genitalia slide number (RL
10745m
). Further, one of the reviewers, Dr. László Ronkay, kindly re-confirmed that the genitalia with slide number (RL
10745m
) illustrated in
Tóth & Ronkay (2015a
: fig. 7) is actually that of the
holotype
, “
Rhynchina blepharota
m., Strand det,
Formosa
, Suisharyo, X.11, H. Sauter”, deposited in DEIM.
