Plagiognathus pallescens Zheng and Li

Plagiognathus pallescens Zheng and Li, 1991: 89 , 91 (n. sp.).

Schuh et al. (1995) commented on possible confusion concerning the identity of this species from south China, noting that the two male paratypes they examined were not conspecific. One of the specimens examined by Schuh et al. (1995) was apparently conspecific with those dissected by Zheng and Li (1991), in that the genitalia conformed to the figure provided by the latter authors. The genitalia are Plagiognathus View in CoL like, based on my interpretation of the figure of Zheng and Li. Nonetheless, as is the case with some oth er Palearctic species currently placed in Plagiognathus View in CoL , further study of this taxon will help to clarify whether it is correctly placed.

HOST: Unknown.
