Calothysanis synthaca Prout, 1938: 154, pl. 16: g. Holotype ♂, Formosa [China: Taiwan] (central): Kagi district (NHM).

Timandra synthaca : Inoue 1992: 122.

Diagnosis.

This species is very similar to T. apicirosea . The following characters of the male genitalia distinguish it from T. apicirosea : the uncus is stouter; the socii are narrower and less strongly curved; the costa of the valva is more strongly sclerotized. The female genitalia of this species are unknown.

Material examined.

CHINA: Taiwan (NHM): 1♂, holotype, Central Formosa, Kagi district, Rothschild Bequest, 1939-1; Taiwan (BRCAS): 1♂, Hualien Co., Xinbaiyang (site 1), 1734 m, 22-23.VII.2015, coll. S. Wu.

Distribution.

China (Guangdong?, Taiwan).

Remarks.

Because the specimen in Wang (2011) was damaged (Min Wang pers. comm.), the record of the species from Guangdong is unconfirmed.
