Discussion.
Because this species was described by
Kato (1931)
based only on external morphology, its identity cannot be established with certainty based on the original description. As the Kato specimens were in the hands of private ownership, since Kato’s death the location of the
type
specimen for
Midoria capitata
has remained unknown. Therefore, the
type
was unavailable for study. Here we consider
M. capitata
a
species inquirenda
.
