Remarks

The name Gahrliepia (Giroudia) traubi was proposed after 1960 to fix secondary homonymy with Gahrliepia (Walchia) brennani Womersley, 1952 ( Zumpt 1961; Taufflieb 1965b), but in modern systems the genus Walchia separates from Gahrliepia ( Kudryashova 1998; Fernandes & Kulkarni 2003; Stekolnikov & Daniel 2012). Thus, Gahrliepia traubi is synonymized here with G. brennani ( Jadin & Vercammen-Grandjean, 1952) according to ICZN Code (Art. 59.4). Both names, G. brennani ( Jadin & Vercammen-Grandjean, 1952) and G. traubi (Audy et al., 1961) , were used by Kolebinova & Vercammen-Grandjean (1978) simultaneously, without any discussion on their relation.

The deutonymph was described ( Vercammen-Grandjean & Jadin 1956a).
