Description

57. Mimops orientalis Kraepelin, 190­3

Kraepelin 1903: 62–63, figs. 22–24 (as Mimops orientalis n. sp.)

Type locality and specimens. China (Prov. Schensi [Shaanxi]). Bisher nur 1 Exemplar (Mus. Hamburg) [Until now only 1 specimen (Museum Hamburg).].

Dimensions. Länge [length] 45 mm.

Type material. Holotype (ZMH-A0000671). CHINA: “ Süd Schensi ”, dd. 08.1903 (ca. 34°N; 108°70‘E)

Preservation. 1 jar. This specimen is presently on loan.

Old type catalogue. Weidner (1960), p. 68, No. 52. Holotype.

Taxonomic remarks. Note on file card: „Jetzt: Typusgattung für Mimopidae Lewis, 2006. M. orientalis: Holotype ist das einzige Exemplar dieser Familie! [Holotype is the only specimen of this family!]“.

Collection remarks. The georeference refers to the city of Xi’an, the capital of this provice. Note though that the specimen was collected in “southern Shaanxi “, which is more mountainous.

Other remarks. For a long time, the holotype was the only known specimen of this family but recently Jiang et al. (2020) conducted a comprehensive study and sequenced additional specimens. They confirmed the validity of the family Mimopidae, however they did not re-examine the holotype for their morphological redescription of M. orientalis. Their identification relies on Lewis (2006) who had examined the original specimen.

Current systematic position. Mimops orientalis Kraepelin, 1903.
