Diagnosis
See Gao et al. (2018).
Remarks
Gao et al. (2018) described Miridiba kuatunensis based on a male holotype and fifteen paratypes (eight males and seven females) conserved in IZCAS. The 9-segmented antenna, pronotal surface densely punctate and parameres with two dorsal and two ventral branches ( Gao et al. 2018: fig.2)allow us to include M.kuatunensis in morphotype I “ Trichophora ”. Miridiba kuatunensis is a species related to M. brancuccii , the parameres shape illustrated by Sabatinelli (1983: figs 1–2) shows similarities with those of M. kuatunensis ( Gao et al. 2018: fig. 2h–i). However, these species differ in the dorsal surface of the body, glabrous in M. brancuccii ( Sabatinelli 1983) and pubescent in M. kuatunensis . On the other hand, M. kuatunensis and M. pilosella ( Moser, 1908) are quite similar, both species can be distinguished by the ratio between dorsal and ventral branches of the parameres and the curving of dorsal branches tips ( Gao et al. 2018).
Distribution
China (Fujian, Guangdong, Guangxi, Hainan, Zhejiang).
