Zyras (Zyras) fratrumkadooriorum PACE, 1998

Zyras (Zyras) fratrumkadooriorum PACE, 1998: 968 .

Zyras (Zyras) chumphonensis PACE, 2004: 292 ; syn. nov.

Type material examined: Z. fratrumkadooriorum : see ASSING (2016).

Z. chumphonensis : Holotype ♂: “ Thailand: Chumphon prov., Pha To env. , 9°48'N, 98°47'E, 27.III.–14.IV.1996, P. Průdek / Holotypus Zyras chumphongensis [sic] mihi, det. R. Pace 2004 / Zyras chumphongensis [sic], det. R. Pace 2004 / Zyras fratrumkadooriorum Pace , det. V. Assing 2015” (cSch).

Additional material examined: China: 1 ♂, Yunnan, Xishuangbanna, 23 km NW Jinghong, Na Ban env., 22°09'N, 100°40'E, 730 m, Malaise trap, 28.VI.2008, leg. Weigel ( NME) .

Comment: The original description of Z. chumphonensis is based on a unique male from “ Thailand, Chumphon prov., Pha To env.” ( PACE 2004). The specimen is in

rather poor condition (antennomeres VIII–XI of left antenna and X–XI of right antennae missing; eyes and legs deformed; coloration somewhat modified probably as a result of improper treatment during original dissection). A comparison of the types of Z. chumphonensis and Z. fratrumkadooriorum revealed that both names refer to the same species, so that Z. chumphonensis is placed in synonymy with Z. fratrumkadooriorum . For a redescription and illustrations of this species see ASSING (2016).

Zyras fratrumkadooriorum is currently known from Hong Kong, the Chinese province Yunnan, and Thailand.

Zyras (Zyras) shaanxiensis PACE, 1998

Material examined: China: 1 ♂, Sichuan, Wolong National Nature Reserve, Yinchanggou, Panda Valley , 30°58'N, 103°08'E, 2300 m, sifted, 24.VI.2014, leg. Hájek & Růžička ( NMP) .

Comment: Zyras shaanxiensis is widspread and not uncommon in the Daba Shan, the Qinling Shan (including adjacent mountain ranges), and in Sichuan, with two female-based records also from Yunnan ( ASSING 2016).

Zyras (Zyras) schuelkei ASSING, 2016

Material examined: China: 7 exs., Guangxi, 29 km SSW Shangsi, Shiwada Shan National Forest Park , 21°51'N, 107°54'E, 300 m, secondary broad-leaved evergreen forest, baited pitfall traps (rotten cheese and fish), 5.-9.IV. 2013, leg. Fikáček et al. ( NMP, cAss) .

Comment: This recently described species was previously known from Sichuan and Fujian provinces ( ASSING 2016).

Zyras (Zyras) maculicollis ASSING, 2016

Material examined: China: 1 ♀, Sichuan, 22 km NE Baoxing, Dengchigou Monastery , 30°32'N, 102°56'E, 1880 m, bamboo grove, 13.VI.2014, leg. Hájek & Růžička ( NMP) .

Comment: Zyras maculicollis had been recorded only from Hubei and Jiangxi provinces ( ASSING 2016). The above female is of somewhat darker coloration than the types, but otherwise no differences were found suggesting that it should represent a distinct species.
