Treatment

3.2.12. Episymploce kunmingi (Bey-Bienko, 1969)

Symploce kunmingi Bey-Bienko, 1969: 855 (Type locality: Yunnan, China).

Episymploce kunmingi : Roth, 1985b, 215.

Symploce quadrispinis Woo and Feng, 1992: 54 (Type locality: Yunnan, China) syn. nov.

Material examined.

CHINA • 1 ♂ (holotype of S. quadrispinis ); Yunnan Prov., Lushui City, Liuku Town , 12 June 1981, Jianmin Zhao leg. • 1 ♂, 1 ♀; Yunnan Prov., Kunming City ; 13 June 1986; Pingzhang Feng leg. • 1 ♂, 1 ♀; Sichuan Prov., Leshan City , Jinhekou County; 26-27 May 2011, Keliang Wu leg.

Remarks.

Episymploce kunmingi was published by Bey-Bienko in Symploce and was transferred to Episymploce by Roth (1985b) based on the asymmetric T10. After examination of Episymploce kunmingi (Bey-Bienko, 1969) and comparison with the holotype of Symploce quadrispinis Woo and Feng, 1992, we found that there was no difference in their external morphology and male genitalia. So we regard Symploce quadrispinis as a synonym of Episymploce kunmingi (Bey-Bienko, 1969).
