Paragona dubia Wileman, 1916

( Figs. 7, 8 )

Paragona dubia Wileman, 1916 , Entomologist, 49:82. Type-locality: Taiwan, Anping. Holotype male, BMNH, London.

Notes. The species was described from a single male from Taiwan and placed in the genus Paragona by Wileman (1916). It is known to us only by the illustration of the type by Wang (1994: 56) ( Figs. 7, 8 ). Judging from the photo of the holotype, P. dubia could belong to the genus Paragona , however it is not conspecific with any other revised species. The further revision of the type and additional material is necessary to clarify the systematic position of P. dubia .
