Lobrathium taiwanense
(
WATANABE
, 1998)
,
comb. n.
Lathrobium taiwanense
WATANABE, 1998: 304
ff.
Comment:
The original description of
L. taiwanensetaiwanense
is based on a single male
holotype
from "Mt. Hsiaohsüeh Shan, Ta-hsüeh Shan Mts.,
Taichung
Hsien,
Taiwan
" (
WATANABE 1998
). The type was not examined, but based on the details and the illustrations (habitus, male abdominal apex, aedeagus) provided by
WATANABE (1998)
, there is little doubt that
L. taiwanensetaiwanense
is closely allied to the following species and that it refers in fact to the genus
Lobrathium
, not
Lathrobium
.
Lobrathium
(subgenus?) spp.
Comment:
The following brachypterous females probably refer to undescribed species of the
L. stimulans
group, but are not described.
