Current status.
Unpublished taxon name conspecific with

.
Remarks.
These specimens were labelled by Juanjie Tʼan as new new subspecies of
D. setifera
(Chapuis, 1877)
, however, this name was never published according to our knowledge. Both specimens were published by
Gressitt (1950)
as
D. balyi
(Gestro, 1890)
afterwards attributed to
D. setifera setifera
(Chapuis, 1877)
by
Chen
et. al
(1986)
. However, it is questionable whether the Chinese population is conspecific with the
type
of
D. setifera
described from
Moluccas
(Bacan Is.).
Würmli (1976a)
synonymized
D. balyi
(Gestro, 1890)
with
D. spinosa
(Weber, 1801)
. Although we have not studied
types
of these species, Chinese specimens identified as
D. balyi
or
D. setifera
are conspecific with historical specimens identified as
D. spinosa
deposited in various collections. Despite the name was not published, we decided to include it in the list to avoid any further misinterpretation.
