Remarks.
Olivinirmus crypsirini
Mey, 2017
is a member of the
Ol. meinertzhageni
species group (
sensu
Gustafsson & Bush 2017
).
Mey (2017)
did not provide any comparison between his new species and
Ol. meinertzhageni
(
Ansari, 1956a
)
, and the only obvious difference between them that we can find is the shape of the proximal mesosome. The
type
material needs to be reexamined and redescribed to establish whether these two species can be separated. We consider
Ol. crypsirini
to be a
species inquirenda
until such a study has been made.
