Zyras (Zyras) fratrumkadooriorum PACE, 1998: 968 .

Zyras (Zyras) chumphonensis PACE, 2004: 292 ; syn. nov.

Type material examined: Z. fratrumkadooriorum : see ASSING (2016).

Z. chumphonensis : Holotype ♂: “ Thailand: Chumphon prov., Pha To env. , 9°48'N, 98°47'E, 27.III.–14.IV.1996, P. Průdek / Holotypus Zyras chumphongensis [sic] mihi, det. R. Pace 2004 / Zyras chumphongensis [sic], det. R. Pace 2004 / Zyras fratrumkadooriorum Pace , det. V. Assing 2015” (cSch). GoogleMaps

Additional material examined: China: 1 ♂, Yunnan, Xishuangbanna, 23 km NW Jinghong, Na Ban env., 22°09'N, 100°40'E, 730 m, Malaise trap, 28.VI.2008, leg. Weigel ( NME) GoogleMaps .

Comment: The original description of Z. chumphonensis is based on a unique male from “ Thailand, Chumphon prov., Pha To env.” ( PACE 2004). The specimen is in rather poor condition (antennomeres VIII–XI of left antenna and X–XI of right antennae missing; eyes and legs deformed; coloration somewhat modified probably as a result of improper treatment during original dissection). A comparison of the types of Z. chumphonensis and Z. fratrumkadooriorum revealed that both names refer to the same species, so that Z. chumphonensis is placed in synonymy with Z. fratrumkadooriorum . For a redescription and illustrations of this species see ASSING (2016).

Zyras fratrumkadooriorum is currently known from Hong Kong, the Chinese province Yunnan, and Thailand.
