Labels: “ St Thomas /Luzon/ 2-IV-1972 /S. MURAYAMA,” “ Halpe /nuydai/ HOLOTYPE.”

A male specimen was designated as the holotype by Murayama & Okamura (1973), and the specimen was retrieved in LBM (Figs. 43–45; Dried Insect Database Reg. no. 1500022031).

Though Murayama & Okamura (1973) claimed that the genitalia of nuydai resembled that of Thoressa horishana (Matsumura, 1910) from Taiwan, they somehow classified nuydai in the genus Halpe Moore, 1878 . The taxon was synonymized by Kawazoé (1973), and we follow his treatment. Halpe nuydai Murayama & Okamura, 1973 is a junior subjective synonym of Thoressa justini Inoué & Kawazoé, 1969 .
