Catalogue of
Miridiba
species known from
China
(including Chinese Mainland and Hainan and
Taiwan
Islands)
Altogether 18
Miridiba
species distributed in
China
are confirmed. Some specimens of
Miridiba
deposited in IZCAS were incorrectly identified as
Holotrichia
(
Pledina
)
ciliatipennis
(
Moser, 1913
)
,
H.
(
P.
)
hybrida
(
Moser, 1912
)
,
H.
(
P.
)
imitatrix
(Brenske, 1899)
or
H.
(
P.
)
pilosella
(Moser, 1908)
by
Chang (1964)
. Unfortunately, we have not found any Chinese specimens of
H. ciliatipennis
,
H. hybrida
or
H. imitatrix
until now. Although
Holotrichia
(
Pledina
)
Hope, 1845
was not included into
Miridiba
by
Coca-Abia (2008)
, we herein follow
Li
et al.
(2015)
and treat
Holotrichia sinensis
Hope, 1842
as a member of
Miridiba
.
