Dyschiriognatha hawigtenera Barrion & Litsinger, 1995: 490 , figs. 300A–E, 301A–G (female holotype from Luzon Island, Philippines, 10.viii.1979, A. T. Barrion leg., deposited in the International Rice Research Institute, not examined). Synonymized by Zhu et al. 2003: 204.

Transfer justification. Study of D. dentata View in CoL specimens collected in Asia ( Myanmar, China, Vietnam and Japan) and the schematic drawings of the male genitalia and somatic characters of the original description ( Zhu & Wen, 1978), shows that this species has all the synapomorphies of the genus Glenognatha View in CoL . The conductor and the embolus, although highly modified ( Figs. 40 View FIGURE 40 , 43D–J View FIGURE 43 ), the female genitalia ( Figs. 41A–C, G View FIGURE 41 ) and the tracheal system ( Fig. 41D–F View FIGURE 41 ) exhibit the typical Glenognatha View in CoL morphology.

Diagnosis. Males of G. dentata can be easily distinguished from all other Glenognatha species by the prominent tooth-like projections on the distal retrolateral margin of the conductor ( Figs. 40B View FIGURE 40 , 43G View FIGURE 43 ). Females are diagnosed by the presence of filiform projections in the membranous chamber ( Fig. 41A View FIGURE 41 ).

Description. Male and female described by Zhu & Wen (1978). Additional data.

Male ( Myanmar, USNM). Habitus as in Figures 38A–D View FIGURE 38 . Cephalothorax with lateral pore-bearing and setaebearing depressions ( Fig. 38A View FIGURE 38 , 42A View FIGURE 42 ).
