Chydaeus
andrewesi Schauberger, 1932
Remarks.
Kataev and Schmidt (2006)
treated
Chydaeus andrewesi
as a member of the
obscurus
group and recognized two subspecies: the nominotypic form,
Chydaeus andrewesi andrewesi
, distributed over the eastern Himalaya, and
Chydaeus andrewesi szetschuanus
Schauberger, 1932, occurring in Sichuan Province, China. Our study of additional material from China and Vietnam (see below) has convinced us that
Chydaeus kumei
Ito, 1992, described from Vietnam, is conspecific with
Chydaeus andrewesi
and represents a third subspecies of that species.
