Parachorius fukiensis (Balthasar, 1960) View in CoL
Cassolus fukiensis Balthasar, 1960: 90 View in CoL (type locality: Kuatun , Fújiàn Province, China); Balthasar 1963: 261
Parachorius fukiensis: Tarasov 2017: 119 View in CoL
Cassolus laosensis Ochi, Kon & Higurashi, 2017: 73 View in CoL (type locality: Nong Phet , Xieng Khouang, Laos), new synonymy
In the original description, the authors compare C. laosensis View in CoL only with P. nudus (Sharp, 1875) View in CoL from Cambodia [ Cassolus View in CoL is a junior synonym of Parachorius ( Tarasov 2017) View in CoL ] and do not assess the species identity of C. laosensis View in CoL against many other Parachorius View in CoL species occurring in Indochina. However, the authors provide the detailed illustrations and description of C. laosensis View in CoL that allow comparing this species to the other representatives of Parachorius View in CoL . The main diagnostic characters listed for C. laosensis View in CoL are: (1) first tooth notably modified in males, approximately twice as wide as second tooth (Fig. 3 in Ochi et al. 2017b), (2) metafemoral posterior margin in males not serrate, simple, or dilated in apical third of metafemur and produced in angle (Fig. 7 in Ochi et al. 2017b), (3) metatibia slightly sinuate, inner margin not denticulate, produced in small angle apically (Fig. 6 in Ochi et al. 2017b), (4) aedeagus with symmetrical parameres which emarginate superiorly, their apex rounded (Figs. 11–12 in Ochi et al. 2017b). These characters clearly indicate that C. laosensis View in CoL is conspecific with the earlier described species P. fukiensis View in CoL (see Fig. 8 in Tarasov 2017) that occurs in southeast China, Laos, and Vietnam, and is also known from the similar geographic locality as that of C. laosensis View in CoL (namely, Xieng Khouang prov., Laos). Thus, I can confidently conclude that C. laosensis View in CoL is a junior synonym of P. fukiensis View in CoL .
