Parasaphodes japonicus (Ashmead)

Parasaphes japonicus Ashmead, 1904: 157; holotype in USNM, photographs examined. (http://collections.nmnh.si.edu/search/ ento/?irn=9130857)

Chrysolampus japonicus (Ashmead, 1904), comb. nov.

Remarks. After examining the images of the holotype of P. japonicus Ashmead available on the USNM website, I conclude that the species belongs to the family Perilampidae, genus Chrysolampus Spinola. This is confirmed by Z. Bouček’s identification label from 1989. Thus, the following combination is proposed: Chrysolampus japonicus (Ashmead, 1904), comb. nov.
