Taxonomic remarks.
Mallinella decorata
comb. nov.
was originally described on the basis of females collected from Tharrawaddy (
Thorell 1895
). Thorell later described a conspecific male of this species in his subsequent publication (
Thorell 1897
). Although the males examined were collected from different localities (Tagata by E. Oates; Mooleyit by L. Fea), no significant genitalic differences were detected among them.
Distribution.
Along the Burmese coast (Tenassarim: Tagata and Mooleyit) to central
Burma
(Tharrawaddy, Carin Cheba Bia-po).
