PLEBS OCULOSUS ( ZHU & SONG, 1994) View in CoL COMB. NOV.

Eriophora oculosa Zhu & Song, 1994 (in Zhu et al., 1994: 38, figs 13A–F; Yin et al. 1997: 290–291, fig. 199a–f; Song, Zhu & Chen 1999: 280, figs 165L, 166C, H; Zhang, Zhu & Song 2006: 6, fig. 4A–C.

Types: Holotype. ♂ from Hainan Province ( China), Jiangfeng Town , Ledong County, 10.viii.1990, M.B. Gu ( MHBU). Examined.

Remarks: Based on our examination of the male holotype of this species, we here propose the transfer to Plebs , P. oculosus ( Zhu & Song, 1994) comb. nov. Somatic and genitalic morphology agree in detail with our genus description of Plebs , in particular in reference to the synapomorphy of the genus (characteristic ventral pattern). We did not include this species in our phylogeny as the female is currently unknown.

Distribution: China ( Zhang et al., 2006).

Etymology: We consider the specific epithet an adjective in apposition (loosely translated from Latin as ‘with eyes’) and it therefore has to follow the masculine gender of Plebs .
