Remarks.
Gressitt (1950)
stated in the original description ‘Ta-Chu-Lan’ as the
type
locality while on the label is ‘Ta-Chu-Fung’ but both actually refer to the same place, known as Dazhulan.
Chen
et al.
(1986)
distinguished
D. cervicornis
from other
Triplispa
species by first two prothoracic spines having long common base. However, the
holotype
does not have particularly longer base of lateral prothoracic spines in comparison to other species. It is more distinct by the second elytra interval having only three spines and the first interval with spine in basal third. According to these characters
D. cervicornis
falls in the couplet 42 near
D. carinata
Chen
& T’an, 1961. Both species have nearly identical position of spines but according to the description and figure given by
Chen
et al.
(1986)
D. carinata
seems to have somewhat shorter spines and body much more widened apically. However, these characters might be just products of intraspecific variability as in other species and thus comparison of
types
of both taxa would be desirable to confirm their status.
