Remarks.
Gorochov (2002)
noted that
T. meloda
Gorochov
and
T. prolongata
Wang & Woo
were different in the size of endophallus of genitalia and anal plate, according to the literatures but not the specimens. In this study, we examined and compared their
type
specimens, but did not find any difference in genitalia and anal plate between them. Both were published in 1992,
T. meloda
was published in August (
Asanovich, Grozdilova & Kerzhner, 2006
) and
T. prolongata
in December. Thus,
T. meloda
should be the valid name for this species, and
T. prolongata
is a junior synonym of the latter, according to the International Code of Zoological Nomenclature (
ICZN, 1999: Article 21.1.3
).
