Comments.
Tomasovic (2002)
described
D. remus
based on the holotype and 4 paratype specimens. For the current study only 2 paratypes were studied and in both, the R4 vein ends in the C vein and, consequently, cell r2+3 is narrowly open, and not closed as typical for
Diplosynapsis
species (
Fig. 55
). Although the paratypes do not have the diagnostic characters of
Diplosynapsis
, it would be premature to remove this species from this genus, since it was not possible to study the holotype. Thus, we emphasize the importance of additional study to determine the taxonomic position of
D. remus
.
