Thereuopoda clunifera (Wood, 1862) View in CoL

Cermatia clunifera Wood, 1862: 10 .

Type locality: China: Hong Kong.

Holotype: one specimen, sex unknown, No 255, USNM.

Material examined: The MNHN houses specimens from Japan (Nakaodõ Cave, Akiyoshi Plateau and Tokyo) identified by M. Würmli.

General distribution: China. Japan. Taiwan. Java?

Remarks: It is very likely that Thereuopoda clunifera is a junior synonym or, at the best, a subspecies of T. longicornis (Fabricius, 1793) (cf. Würmli, 1979). The records from Java – Batavia and Buitenzorg ( Chamberlin, 1939; 1944), and Salak ( Attems, 1903) are most probably based on specimens of typical T. longicornis .
