Holotype, female, Archiphanurus obtusus : VIETNAM: Hanoi Prov., Hanoi, 29.V.1979, IEBR 0050 (deposited in IEBR).

Comments.

Our synonymy of Paratelenomus obtusus ( Lê) is based on photographs of the holotype specimens provided by Talamas and Pham (2017) ( Figs 12-16 ). This specimen matches the concept of P. saccharalis in the description and identification key of Johnson (1996) and likely was not considered by Lê in his later treatments of Archiphanurus Szabó (= Paratelenomus ) ( Lê 1997, 2000).
