Ragadia latifasciata Leech, 1891

( Fig. 8 )

For many years, this half-forgotten species was known only from type specimens collected in Moupin [Baoxing, Sichuan] (western China) deposited in NHM: Type ♂, B.M. Type NoRh2682, Moupin, July 1890; Type ♀ B.M. Type NoRh2683, Moupin, July 1890 ( Figure 8 ). A female similar to R. latifasciata was mentioned by Nishimura (2008) from northern Vietnam (Ha Giang province). It was the first record of R. latifasciata from Vietnam. However, the taxon was regarded as a form of R. crisilda .
