Michotamia subnigra nom. n.

Michotamia nigra Scarbrough and Hill, 2000: 357. Type locality: Sri Lanka: Kan.: Kandy: Udawattakele Sancturay (7°17'55.96"N, 80°38'32.65"E). [preoccupied by Michotamia nigra (Meijere, 1911: 312 (Java).]

Note.

Scarbrough and Hill (2000) described Michotamia nigra from Sri Lanka. Unfortunately they failed to note that the binomen Michotamia nigra (Meijere, 1911) had been used earlier for a species from Java. We propose Michotamia subnigra as a replacement name for Michotamia nigra Scarbrough and Hill.

Distribution.

Sri Lanka.
