Discussion.
From etymology consideration, the species name is derived from Latin word
truncat
, Greek word
lob
, and masculine suffix
-us
meaning “roundly truncate lobes of male 9th abdominal tergite” (
Li
et al.
, 2015
). After a careful examination of the
type
specimens of
Apterolarnaca ovala
, we found that the species was a synonym of
Apotrechus truncatolobus
Li & Liu, 2015
and
Apotrechus truncatolobus
should be transferred to the genus
Apterolarnaca
. According to the article of 34.2 the International Code of Zoological Nomenclature (The Code, 1999), we replace the masculine suffix -
us
with feminine
-a
.
