Labels : “Kyukou (= Jiujiang, in Chinese character)/ Jiangxi Province (in Chinese character)/ IX-1982 /MU- RAYAMA,” “ A. inachus / jiujiängana/ HOLOTYPE.”

A male specimen was designated as the holotype by Murayama (1983), and the specimen was retrieved in LBM ( Figs. 22–24 View FIGURES 19–36 ; Dried Insect Database Reg. no. 1500022013).

As Bridges (1994) noted, Evans (1949) overlooked the Chinese taxon, nanka Evans, 1943 that he described, and treated inachus Ménétriés, 1858 from China as formosanus Matsumura, 1931. As a consequence, Murayama (1983) was not aware of nanka and described jiujiangana. Tsukiyama et al. (1997) overlooked jiujiangana, and the name was not listed. We find no difference among south eastern Chinese specimens of inachus (e. g. specimens shown in Tsukiyama et al. 1997). Therefore, we consider jiujiangana as a junior subjective synonym of nanka.
