Naarda blepharota ( Strand, 1920)

Rhynchina blepharota Strand, 1920 , Archiv Naturg. 84 A (12): 167-168 (a male [holotype], Suisharyo, X. 1911).

Naarda blepharita View in CoL [sic]: Poole, 1989: 674, misspelling.

Naarda blepharota: Wang, 2001: 56 , figs (male holotype, upper and under sides); Tóth & Ronkay, 2014a: 33-34, figs 36 (female genitalia), 80 (female); Tóth & Ronkay, 2015a: 19, fig. 7 (male genitalia).

Distribution: Taiwan (Chiayi, Kaohsiung).

Notes. This species was described by Strand (1920) on the basis of a single male specimen from Suisharyo [ Shuisheliao, Chiayi, Taiwan]. Wang (1994) illustrated a female under the name of “ Naarda blepharota ”, but doubtlessly it is a different species. Wang (2001) illustrated the holotype of this species preserved in DEIM. In the revision of Naarda, Tóth & Ronkay (2014a) described the female of N. blepharota without giving details about how to determine the conspecific status but they did not show any evidence of the identification of this species, they also examined one HNHM female “with data same as holotype, not dissected”, this case is peculiar since to our best knowledge there is no other specimen of Strand’s Taiwanese species deposited outside DEIM and as the mention above Strand described this species through a single male specimen. In addition, Tóth & Ronkay (2015a) illustrated the male genitalia of N. blepharota without any specimen data except for the genitalia slide number (RL 10745m). Further, one of the reviewers, Dr. László Ronkay, kindly re-confirmed that the genitalia with slide number (RL 10745m) illustrated in Tóth & Ronkay (2015a: fig. 7) is actually that of the holotype, “ Rhynchina blepharota m., Strand det, Formosa, Suisharyo, X.11, H. Sauter”, deposited in DEIM.
