( Fig. 19 View FIGURES 12 – 19. 12 )

Choeridiona cupreovirida Gressitt, 1950: 77 .

Type locality. China, Fujian prov., Wuyishan Co., Xiaguadun, approx. 27°44′N, 117°38′E, 1310 m a.s.l. Original type series. Holotype ( LMNH) and one paratype ( CAS) with identical data.

Type material examined. Holotype, glued: ‘Fukien, S. China | Chungan, ShaKuaTun | VI-3 -[hw] 194[p]2[hw] | T. C. Maa [w, p, cb] || L-24 [w, t, cb] || HOLOTYPE | CHOERIDIONA [hw] | CUPREOVIRIDA [hw] | J.L.Gressitt [r, p + hw by Gressitt, cb] || CHOERIDIOA [hw] | CUPREOVIRIDA [hw] | GRESS. [hw] | J.L.Gressitt-Det.19[p]50[hw] [w, p + hw by Gressitt, cb] || Ce-007153 [w, p, s] || En-289749 | [Data Matrix barcode] SYS [w. p, cb]’.

Current status. Valid species.

Remarks. Baly (1869) described the genus Chaeridiona for two Asiatic species. Gemminger & Harold (1876) unjustly emended the name to ‘ Choeridiona ’ and this spelling was used till Uhmann (1958). Staines (2007) considered the name as misspelling. However, it is evident from the work, that Gemminger & Harold (1876) changed the names on purpose as they gave the original Greek or Latin words in correct spelling and very often also mentioned the original spelling in synonymy thus changes they made must be considered as unjustified emendations. Therefore Choeridiona Gemminger & Harold 1876 is objective younger synonym of Chaeridiona Baly, 1869 .

Gressitt (1950) proposed the species name as ‘ cupreovirida ’, however, it is incorrect original spelling because Chaeridiona is feminine, thus Uhmann (1958) adjusted ending to ‘ cupreoviris ’.

Würmli (1976b) synonymized Ch. cupreoviridis with Ch. semiviridis Pic, 1935 but probably never studied type of either one. Both taxa are distinct and Staines (2007) restored the species status of Ch. cupreoviridis . Gressitt (1950) stated that paratype is deposited in CAS, however, the specimen is not present in that collection and is deposited in BPBM ( Staines 2007).
