Parachironomus inafegeus
Sasa, Kitami & Suzuki, 2001: 6 (syn. n.).
Material examined.
China. ā (No. 05227) Fujian Province, Longyan City, Shanghang county, 3.v.1993, light trap, X. Wang. The type specimen of
Parachironomus inafegeus
Sasa, Kitami & Suzuki. Holotype, ā (No. 398: 65), on the shore of lake Inawashiro, insect net, 8.vi.2000.
Diagnostic characters.
Thorax yellowish brown with white stripes; anal point parallel-sided, slender; anal tergite bands
"V"
-shaped, not fused in the middle; superior volsella crescent-like; inferior volsella tuberculate with two small protuberances, bearing two strong apical setae, free of microtrichia.
Distribution.
China (Fujian Province); Russian Far East; Japan; Europe.
Remarks.
The holotype specimen of
Parachironomus inafegeus
Sasa, Kitami & Suzuki, 2001 mainly agrees with the description of
Cryptochironomus albofasciatus
(Staeger, 1839) by Goetghebuer (1937-195: 38, fig. 116), especially the characters of anal point, superior and inferior volsella, and gonostylus. Consequently, it must be considered a junior synonym of
Cryptochironomus albofasciatus
(Staeger, 1839). See also the species illustration in
Yan et al. (2016
: 487, fig 1.).
