( Fig. 27 )

Dactylispa (s. str.) setifera setifera (Chapuis, 1877) : Chen et al., 1986: 277 ( D. balyi sensu Gressitt 1938 ex parte = D. setifera setifera ).

Current status. Unpublished taxon name conspecific with D. spinosa (Weber, 1801) .

Remarks. These specimens were labelled by Juanjie Tʼan as new new subspecies of D. setifera (Chapuis, 1877) , however, this name was never published according to our knowledge. Both specimens were published by Gressitt (1950) as D. balyi (Gestro, 1890) afterwards attributed to D. setifera setifera (Chapuis, 1877) by Chen et. al (1986). However, it is questionable whether the Chinese population is conspecific with the type of D. setifera described from Moluccas (Bacan Is.). Würmli (1976a) synonymized D. balyi (Gestro, 1890) with D. spinosa (Weber, 1801) . Although we have not studied types of these species, Chinese specimens identified as D. balyi or D. setifera are conspecific with historical specimens identified as D. spinosa deposited in various collections. Despite the name was not published, we decided to include it in the list to avoid any further misinterpretation.
