14. Dohrniphora malaysiae Green View in CoL

( Figs. 27–28 View FIGURES 25 – 32 )

Dohrniphora malaysiae Green, 1997:159 View in CoL .

Dohrniphora rectilinearis Liu, 2001:104 View in CoL (syn. nov.).

Green (1997) took notice of the similarity between D. malaysiae View in CoL and D. rectilinearis Liu (Liu 1993 View in CoL , an unpublished thesis) and declared the difference by the distance of peg-like bristles to the edge. I checked the type specimen and considered both are homogeneous. According to the Law of Priority, I recognize D. rectilinearis Liu View in CoL as a junior synonym of D. malayiae Green.

Distribution. China (Shaanxi, Yunnan, Hainan), Malaysia.
