.
Remarks
Keith & Sabatinelli (2010)
described
Miridiba recta
based on a male
holotype
. We were unable to examine the type specimen of
Miridiba recta
. However, according to the original description, this species shows features of the external morphology that characterize
Miridiba
. Besides, the parameres show two dorsal and two ventral branches separated from each other (
Keith & Sabatinelli 2010
: figs 8–9), which characterize morphotype I “
Trichophora
”. Hence, this species is included in this genital morphotype.
Distribution
Thailand
(Doi Sanjac).
