Treatment

Olivinirmus taivanensis Mey, 2017: 110 , fig. 26, pl. III: fig. 6. Species incertae sedis.

Type host: Urocissa caerulea Gould, 1863 — Taiwan blue magpie .

Type locality: Taiwan .

Remarks. Olivinirmus taivanensis Mey, 2017 is known from females only. As the only detailed illustration of this species is of the tergopleural incrassations, it cannot presently be placed in any of the species groups erected by Gustafsson & Bush (2017). We studied additional Olivinirmus material from Urocissa caerulea , which we placed in the Ol. glandarii species group. However, we cannot establish whether these two sets of specimens are conspecific without a direct comparison.
