Comments.
Epaenidea indochinensis
was described based on six specimens. I examined one badly damaged
paratype
(probably female) deposited in the NHMB. Pavel Romantsov kindly provided me with photographs of the
holotype
deposited in the collection of L. Medvedev. The metasternal process is clearly visible on the photograph of the ventral side and thus
E. indochinensis
is transferred here to
Taumacera
.
