Dasylepida testaceipes Sabatinelli 2020, n. comb.

Description

Dasylepida testaceipes (Fairmaire, 1902) n. comb.

Fig. 13

Cyphochilus testaceipes Fairmaire, 1902: 316.

Type material examined: Lectotype by present designation: MNHN; 1 ♀; CHINA: // Cyphochilus / testaceipes / Fairm China (H) // Foucheou [Fujan: Fou-Tcheou] (H) // Type (P on red) // Muséum Paris / 1906 / coll. Leon Fairmaire //. (Fig. 13).

Remarks: The type specimen has a symmetrically bilobed clypeus and the body has very few scales and several setae. Therefore, it does not belong to genus Cyphochilus but to genus Dasylepida Moser, 1913. Dasylepida testaceipes is probably a synonym of one of the species described from east China but this needs to be further investigated.
