Hadronotus fervidus (Mineo)
comb. nov.
Gryon fervidum
Mineo, 1992: 18 (original description).
Comments.
The original description is brief, and characters needed to properly place this species are largely absent. We interpret "from upper margin of the frontal depression and because there is no ridge connecting the latter to anterior ocellus" to refer to a carinate margin of the frontal depression, as is seen in
Hadronotus ancinla
(
Chen et al. 2020
), and which may be connected to the anterior ocellus by a carina.
Mineo (1992)
placed
G. fervidum
in the
Gryon hiberus
group, but the description of the
Gryon hiberus
group by
Mineo (1990b)
is also brief and insufficient for generic placement. We examined the holotype of
Hadronotus lucmon
, described as
Gryon lucmon
concomitantly with
G. fervidum
, which was also placed in the
Gryon hiberus
group and which belongs in
Hadronotus
. Our examination of a paratype specimen also supports placement of this species in
Hadronotus
.
