Description

Ziridava kanshireiensis Prout, 1958.

Holotype male (slide Geom:11212HT-JDH-wrong abdomen), Taiwan, Kanshirei (examined); paratype male, slide Geom:11215PT-JHD, Figs 3–4); paratype female (slide Geom:11256PT- JHD, Fig. 5) (NHM).

Ziridava xylinaria kanshireiensis Prout, 1958.

Ziridava kanshireiensis Prout; Holloway, 1982: 248.

Notes. This species, Z. baliensis Prout (Bali, Flores), Z. khasiensis Prout (N.E. Himalaya) and Z. rubridisca (Hampson) (S. India, Sri Lanka) were recognized as distinct from xylinaria by Holloway (1982). Apparently, on the slide marked as Z. kanshireiensis, holotype male a wrong abdomen was mounted. Reviewing the larentiine moth fauna of China, Xue & Zhu (1999) presented a drawing of male genitalia of the species Z. kanshireiensis, which displays deviations. The identity of the species needs to be verified.

Geographical range. Taiwan: Kanshirei; Philippines; Peninsular Malaysia; Borneo (lower montane) (see Holloway 1997).
