Remarks.

Anastathes parva hainana Gressitt, 1942c is junior homonym and objective synonym of Anastathes parva hainana Gressitt, 1941. The holotype of Anastathes parva hainana Gressitt, 1941 is a female from Tai-pin-ts’uen, Loi Mother Mountain, Hainan Island, 1935.V.14, leg. F.K. To (SYSU). We did not find this holotype during our study, and it was not included in the iconography by Hua et al. (2009).

All authors have treated Gressitt (1942c) as the original description of Anastathes parva hainana , except Breuning (1956 and 1966), who wrongly cited Gressitt (1942d). Löbl and Smetana (2010) incorrectly treated the misidentification of the Hainan population by Gressitt (1940) " Chreonoma atricornis " as a homonym of Chreonoma atricornis Pic, 1922, and considered Chreonoma hainana Gressitt, 1942c as a replacement name of " Chreonoma atricornis " ( Gressitt 1940), while Danilevsky (2020) erroneously considered Chreonoma hainana Gressitt, 1942c as a replacement name for Anastathes parva Gressitt, 1935. Based on our study, Anastathes parva hainana Gressitt, 1942c is a duplicately published homonym of Anastathes parva hainana Gressitt, 1941, both based on the same holotype specimen, while Gressitt (1940) misidentified this species as Chreonoma atricornis Pic, 1922. We do not agree with Breuning (1956) who treated the Hainan Island population (Fig. 11 ) as an infrasubspecific variety of the Taiwan Island population (Fig. 10 ), but follow Gressitt (1941, 1942c, 1942d, 1951) in treating it as a subspecies.

In addition to the three taxa whose publication date is now known to have been one year earlier, Gressitt’s (1941) article moved Astathes dioica Fairmaire, 1878 to the genus Chreonoma one year earlier than Gressitt (1942d) and 10 years earlier than Gressitt (1951).
