Leiothrichinirmus weigoldi Mey, 2017: 166 , figs 89–90, pl. XVI: figs 4–5.

Resartor weigoldi ( Mey, 2017) . New combination.

Type host: Trochalopteron formosum formosum Verreaux, 1869 —red-winged laughingthrush.

Type locality: Buge , Kwanhsim [?], Sichuan, China .

Remarks. Besides photographs of the habitus of both sexes ( Mey 2017: pl. XVI: figs 4–5), Leiothrichinirmus weigoldi is illustrated by the preantennal area with a mixture of ventral and dorsal features, and the male terminalia showing dorsal characters of the abdomen and the male genitalia ( Mey 2017: figs 89–90). However, the male genitalia as shown are incomplete and distorted and not comparable with illustrations of other Resartor species. Leiothrichinirmus weigoldi is in need of redescription and regarded here as species inquirenda.
