Comment
: The original description of
P. notabilis
is based on several specimens collected in a nest of “
Termes malaccensis
ad Yen-Bay (Tonkino)” (
SILVESTRI 1946
).
Pedinopleurus setosicauda
was described from
four type
specimens from two localities in North
Vietnam
(
DVOŘÁK 1996
). The details indicated in the descriptions of
P. notabilis
and
P. setosicauda
do not provide any evidence that the two names should refer to different species; hence the synonymy proposed above. The forebody, antenna, and abdominal segments IX–X are illustrated in
Figs 187–189
.
The additional material listed above represents the first records from
China
and
Laos
.
