Remarks.
There is a
holotype
photograph of
Trichorondonia hybolasioides
on
Bezark (2021)
. However, the specimen is not true
holotype
of
Trichorondonia hybolasioides
. The specimen illustrated here (
Fig. 3
) is the true
holotype
, as it's possible to see comparing it with the photograph (
Fig. 2
) provided by
Breuning (1965)
in the original description. Additionally, we also examined the collecting data (Vang Vieng,
Laos
,
15. I. 1967
) of the specimen of
Trichorondonia hybolasioides
on
Bezark (2021)
based on three photographs provided by Junsuke Yamasako and Nobuo Ohbayashi, which also did not match with data (région de Thakhek,
Novembre 1963
) of the real
holotype
in original description.
The collecting data (“Phontiou, 27-11-63”) on one of the labels make evident that the information in the original description was a mistake (région de Thakhek,
Novembre 1963
). According to the
Laos
map provided by the
United Nations (2004)
, Thakhek and Phontiou belong to
Khammouan Province
,
Laos
, and are two different places. Therefore, we are correcting the type-locality of
Trichorondonia hybolasioides
from “région de Thakhek” to Phontiou, as already correctly reported by
Rondon & Breuning (1970)
.
