Wang, Ying-jian, Yang, Lin, Ye, Fei & Chen, Xiang-sheng, 2021, A new species of the genus Arria Stal, 1877 (Mantodea, Haaniidae) from China with notes on the tribe Arriini Giglio-Tos, 1919, ZooKeys 1025, pp. 1-19 : 1

Arria pallida (Zhang, 1987) Figs 4G-I , 10I-L

Material examined.

Holotype, 1♂, China: Yunnan Prov., Lushui County, 10.X.1980, Guo-zhong Zhang leg. ( NFU); 2♂♂, Yunnan Prov., Fenshuiling National Natural Reserve , 19.V.2015, Yun-fei Wu and Jia-jia Wang leg. ( IEGU).

Remarks.

Xu (2007) described this species in Sinomiopteryx from Yunnan, China. The descriptions and illustrations for both external morphology and genitalia of Sinomiopteryx yunnanensis Xu, 2007 fall into the range presented for Arria pallida (Zhang, 1987), especially the significant differences of male genitalia between Arria and Sinomiopteryx (Figs 4A-L , 5A-F ). Therefore, we consider S. yunnanensis Xu, 2007 as a junior synonym of A. pallida Zhang, 1987.
