Description

Halpe nuydai Murayama & Okamura, 1973

Tyô to Ga 24(1): 24.

Labels: “ St Thomas /Luzon/ 2-IV-1972 /S. MURAYAMA,” “ Halpe /nuydai/ HOLOTYPE.”

A male specimen was designated as the holotype by Murayama & Okamura (1973), and the specimen was retrieved in LBM (Figs. 43–45; Dried Insect Database Reg. no. 1500022031).

Though Murayama & Okamura (1973) claimed that the genitalia of nuydai resembled that of Thoressa horishana (Matsumura, 1910) from Taiwan, they somehow classified nuydai in the genus Halpe Moore, 1878. The taxon was synonymized by Kawazoé (1973), and we follow his treatment. Halpe nuydai Murayama & Okamura, 1973 is a junior subjective synonym of Thoressa justini Inoué & Kawazoé, 1969.
