status

 

Miridiba malaccensis ( Moser, 1912)

Holotrichia malaccensis Moser, 1912: 441 (type loc.: Malacca, Malaysia).

Miridiba malaccensis – Matsumoto 2011: 1, figs 1, 10, 12 (combination).

Diagnosis

See Moser (1912) and Matsumoto (2011).

Remarks

Matsumoto (2011) transferred this species to Miridiba based on several non-type specimens from Malaysia. We were unable to examine type specimens and it is not possible to confirm or disprove the transfer of H. malaccensis to the genus Miridiba ( Matsumoto 2011) until the types are studied. Then, we consider the taxonomic status of H. malaccensis as it is currently established ( Matsumoto 2011) and, according to figures of the male genitalia ( Matsumoto 2011: fig. 12), we include this species in the morphotype IV “ Bidentata ”.

Distribution
