Remarks.
This species was originally described as
Zonitis
. Here we propose a new combination for it based on the study of the
type
specimens (MNHN) and one specimen determined by Marco A. Bologna (MNHN).
Z. fuscimembris
shows the typical characters of
Zonitoschema
including body mainly yellow, eyes large and at least attaining medial margin of maxillae on underside of head, antennae elongate and filiform, antennomere II longer than half of III, and pronotum usually longer than wide.
Fairmaire (1886)
did not describe the details of the type specimens. One of us (
Z. Pan
) examined three specimens from MHNH listed above. Two are labeled as “
Yunnan
,
China
”, as the type locality. Therefore, we propose that they are the
syntypes
, and designate the
lectotype
and
paralectotype
.
