Description
Summary:Sphenometopa ( Tarsaraba ) luridimacula Chao & Zhang, 1988a: 281. China, Xinjiang, Baicheng, Akeqisu. Originally included specimens : Described from three males and one female. Name-bearing type : Holotype ♂: Xinjiang, Baicheng/ Akeqisu/ Chinese Academy of Sciences [white label, in black print, in Chinese]// 2400M./ 1978. V.18 / Collected by X.Z. Zhang [“2400M./ 1978. V.18 ” handwritten in black ink, remaining in black print, in Chinese]// HOLOTYPE [red label, in black print]// IOZ(E)216074 [blue label, in black print]// ♂ [white label, in black print]// Sphenometopa / (Tarsaraba) / luridimacula / Zhao & Zhang [white label, in black print]// Sphenometopa / ( Intermedia )/ luridimacula Chao et Zhang / Identified by C.M. Chao [“Identified by C.M. Chao” in black print, in Chinese, remaining handwritten in black ink]. Holotype slightly dusty and with some small tears along the anterior wing margin, but otherwise in good condition. Terminalia in situ left hind tarsus and right hind tarsomeres 2–5 missing. Current identity : Sphenometopa stackelbergiana Rohdendorf, 1967, as treated by Rohdendorf (1967, 1971) and here proposed as a senior synonym of Sphenometopa luridimacula Chao & Zhang, 1988, syn. n. Additional specimens : Sphenometopa luridimacula Chao & Zhang: Allotype ♀: China: Xinjiang, Baicheng, Akeqisu, alt. 2400m, 17.V.1978, Coll. by X.Z. Zhang (NZMC). Paratypes 2♂♂: China: Xinjiang, Baicheng, Akeqisu, 2400m, 18.V.1978, Coll. by X.Z. Zhang (NZMC). Sphenometopa stackelbergiana Rohdendorf: Paratype 1♂: Pamir, river Vostochnyj Pshart [Eastern Pshart], 11.VI.1964, Coll. by L. Pritykina (ZMUC); 1♂: Mongolia: Kobdosskij aimak, river Ulyastajn-Gol, 25 km S of Bulgan, 31.VII.1970, Coll. by [V.F.] Zaitsev (ZMUC). Remarks : Comparing the holotype of S. luridimacula with a paratype of S . stackelbergiana , we could not find difference in the shape and setosity of the fore first tarsomere, the extent of the wing patterns or in the male genitalia. Therefore, we have synonymized S. luridimacula under S. ...
