Remarks.
Banks (1939)
briefly described this species for the first time using a female specimen from
China
, which was designated as
holotype
. A redescription was made by
Banks (1940)
with a remark “new species” using the designated
holotype
and additional
one female
which was designated as
paratype
(in MCZ).
Fischer (1963)
regarded the first description of this species (
Banks, 1939
) as “nomenclaturially invalid” and the authorship of this species to be
Banks (1940)
probably because of the remark “new species” in the second paper.
Barnard (1980)
, with his redescription of
holotype
of this species, disagreed on
Fischer’s (1963)
opinion and corrected the authorship of this species to be
Banks (1939)
.
Malicky (1998a)
provided a male description of this species. We follow
Barnard (1980)
that
Banks (1939)
officially described this species for the first time with valid
holotype
designation and description.
