Oedothorax nigromaculatus ( Gao, Fei & Xing, 1996) comb. nov.

Nasoona nigromaculata Gao, Fei & Xing, 1996: 29 , figs 1-5.

Remarks Type material: The type material had been deposited at the Department of Cellular Biology, Norman Bethune University of Medical Sciences (Changchun, China), but according to Shou-Wang Lin is now lost (pers. comm.).

Taxonomic remarks: This species was originally described from specimens collected in the Anhui and Zhejiang provinces of China and placed in the genus Nasoona . Despite the poorly drawn genitals, it is quite obvious that the species actually belongs to Oedothorax . The transfer proposed here is also supported by the same chaetotaxy (2.2.1.1), by the presence of a trichobothrium on metatarsus IV, as well as by the similar conformation of genitals.
