Miridiba axanensis Keith, 2020

Miridiba (Pledina) axanensis Keith, 2020: 2, figs 4–7 (type loc.: Vietnam, Quang Nam, Tay Giang, Mt Axan).

Diagnosis

See Keith (2020).

Remarks

Keith (2020) described Miridiba (Pledina) axanensis based on the male holotype and two paratypes (one male and one female). The characters antenna 10-segmented, pronotal surface densely punctate and collum with a membranous area in dorsal view (Keith 2020: figs 4–6), similar to other species of the morphotype V “ sinensis ”, allow us to include M. axanensis in this morphotype V. On the other hand, in this species the lateral fusion of dorsal and ventral branches is partial. The lateral membrane joins the proximal part of the branches, showing the distal ends separated at lateral view.

Distribution

Vietnam.
