Psolos fuligo Mabille 1876

Description

4. Psolos fuligo (Mabille, 1876)

Note. Chou (1994: 719) reported the genus Psolos and the species P. fuligo in China for the first time in Guangxi. Subsequently, Gu & Chen (1997: 315) recorded P. f ul i g o in Hainan and Guangxi. Yuan et al. (2015: 438) followed these records. However, the figures in Chou (1994: 719, fig. 7; 1998: pl. 87, fig. 11) and Gu & Chen (1997: 315, fig. 501) are not P. fuligo, but Astictopterus jama Felder & Felder, 1860. At present, the genus Psolos should be considered as not existing in China.

5. Sabera fuliginosa Miskin, 1889: Wang 1994a: 18 (Ningming).

Note. Judging from Evans (1949: 421), it is impossible for this species to be distributed in China.

6. Kerana swinhoei Elw. & Edw.: Wang 1994a: 18 (Yulin).

Note. This name is a false combination. It possibly refers to Stimula swinhoei Elwes & Edwards, 1897, which has never been recorded in China (Evans 1949: 279).
