Taxonomical note
.
Osten-Sacken
(1882) described this species from a single female taken from the
Philippines
.
The
holotype
is deposited in the
DEI
Collection
and it is in fairly good condition.
While
examining the type specimen we found that
Osten-Sacken
identified incorrectly the genus.
Consequently
, this species is transferred as
Crossopalpus exul
(Osten-Sacken)
comb. nov
.
The
re-description of this species will be given in a separate paper (
Grootaert
&
Shamshev
, in preparation)
.
