Description
Miridiba malaccensis (Moser, 1912)
Holotrichia malaccensis Moser, 1912: 441 (type loc.: Malacca, Malaysia).
Miridiba malaccensis – Matsumoto 2011: 1, figs 1, 10, 12 (combination).
Diagnosis
See Moser (1912) and Matsumoto (2011).
Remarks
Matsumoto (2011) transferred this species to Miridiba based on several non-type specimens from Malaysia. We were unable to examine type specimens and it is not possible to confirm or disprove the transfer of H. malaccensis to the genus Miridiba (Matsumoto 2011) until the types are studied. Then, we consider the taxonomic status of H. malaccensis as it is currently established (Matsumoto 2011) and, according to figures of the male genitalia (Matsumoto 2011: fig. 12), we include this species in the morphotype IV “ Bidentata ”.
Distribution
Malaysia (Malacca).
