Naarda postpallida de Joannis, 1929

Naarda postpallida de Joannis, 1929, Annales de la Société Entomologique de France 98: 410.

Distribution: Vietnam, Taiwan (Hualien), N. China (Shandong Prov., Tai-Shan) (Tóth 2019).

Notes. This species was described by de Joannis (1929) on the basis of a single female specimen from Cho Ganh (Vietnam). Tóth (2019) evaluated the relationship between this taxon and N. pectinata Sugi, 1982, synonymized these two and recorded Taiwan and N. China as the newly recorded locality of N. postpallida. In the same article, the author stated “The [examined] female specimens showed no difference from the holotype of N. postpallida in external appearance and the [examined] males cannot be distinguished from the type material of N. pectinata neither by external, nor by genital characters (p. 438)”, however, the illustrated male paratype genitalia of N. pectinata in Sugi (1982: pl. 379: 7) differ from that of Tóth’s illustrated Vietnamese and Taiwanese specimens by asymmetrical costal process of valva with right one rod-like with parallel lateral margins and left one broader than left one rather than symmetrical, tapering toward apex. Besides, Sugi (1982) described N. pectinata on the basis of 5 male specimens, one additional male specimen is illustrated in Kishida (2011, 2020) and so far no female specimen of this taxon is available for comparing with Tóth’s (2019) females from Vietnam, Taiwan and N. China. According to the mentioned information, we revive N. pectinata Sugi, 1982 (stat. rev.) in the present study.
