Miridiba recta Keith & Sabatinelli, 2010: 343 , figs 7–9 (type loc.: Doi Sanjac, Thailand).

Diagnosis

See Keith & Sabatinelli (2010).

Remarks

Keith & Sabatinelli (2010) described Miridiba recta based on a male holotype. We were unable to examine the type specimen of Miridiba recta . However, according to the original description, this species shows features of the external morphology that characterize Miridiba . Besides, the parameres show two dorsal and two ventral branches separated from each other ( Keith & Sabatinelli 2010: figs 8–9), which characterize morphotype I “ Trichophora ”. Hence, this species is included in this genital morphotype.

Distribution

Thailand (Doi Sanjac).
