Comments.
REID (1999)
transferred this species to
Taumacera
without any comments. The
holotype
is deposited in the ZMUH and I studied it many years ago. Based on my notes and photographs taken at that time, I am excluding this species from
Taumacera
, and I provisionaly classify it as
Hyphaenia tonkinensis
(comb. nov.).
