Treatment

Philemoniellus samoensis Mey, 2017: 148 , pl. XII: fig. 3.

Guimaraesiella samoensis ( Mey, 2017) . New combination, species inquirenda.

Type host: Gymnomyza samoensis (Hombron & Jacquinot, 1841) —mao.

Type locality: Samoa .

Remarks. The small sample and lack of males, plus an unusual and potentially artifactual chaetotaxy described by Mey (2017: 148) do not allow a proper identification of this species. More specimens, especially males, are needed for a detailed redescription of this taxon. Therefore, this species must remain as species inquirenda.
