Remarks. We were unable to find the description of Temnaspis rubripennis in the papers of J.S. Baly. Possibly Baly studied the unique specimen collected from “südlichsten Amur- Gebiet vom Suyfun- Flufs, an dessen Mündung, in der Bai Peters des Grofsen, die Stadt Vladiwostok liegt” (=Razdolnaya River near Vladivostok) which he received from O. Staudinger, and identified it as T. rubripennis and return it to G. Kraatz (Kraatz 1879), who mentioned this unique specimen of species T. rubripennis under description of his new genus Clythraxeloma (synonym of Poecilomorpha ). Later this species was cited by L. von Heyden (Heyden 1886) without description. G. Jacobson brought a picture of Temnaspis rubripennis in his book (Jacobson 1911: tab. 61, fig. 25).
