Remarks. When Coquillett (1898) described X. cuprina based on two males from Japan, he wrote in the original description that the “ type ” has the number 3999. The type specimens of X. cuprina were examined by Mutin in the National Museum of Natural History (Washington, DC). The holotype of X. cuprina (= X. coquilletti ) with the label "No. 3999" has genitalia similar to those of the X. aeneimaculata species-group sensu Hippa (1978). The study of its genitalia established the synonymy of X. cuprina and X. silvicola (figs 1–2) with X. coquilletti . The description of X. silvicola was published twice ( Mutin, 1988a, 1988b). Based on the male genitalia of X. huangshanensis He & Chu, 1992 , the latter can also be identified as a junior synonym of X. coquilletti ( Mutin & Gilbert 1999) . According to the figures of the male genitalia in the description of X. vulgaris Yang & Cheng, 1993 , this name should also be identified as a junior subjective synonym of X. coquilletti .
