Remarks.

Kazantsev (2007) proposed Micropodabrus wittmeri as a replacement name for Micropodabrus formosanus (Wittmer, 1954), which was originally described in Podabrus Westwood, 1838. However, Micropodabrus formosanus had been already replaced by a replacement name as Micropodabrus denominatus Wittmer, 1997, so Micropodabrus wittmeri Kazantsev, 2007 is a junior objective synonym of Micropodabrus denominatus , which is the valid name as the oldest available name applied to this species (ICZN 4th, Article 57.2).
