Punicealis miranda (Barovskij, 1930) , nom. rev.

Dictyoptera miranda Barovskij, 1930: 360

Material studied: Paratype male, Primorsk obl., Ulahe R., 25.V.1912, V.K.Arsenjev leg., “ Dictyoptera miranda m., Cotype, W.Barovsky det.” (Barovskij’s manujscript label) ( ZIN); female, Ussurijskij Kraj, south slopes of Sikhote­Aliní, 9.V.1929, (Fillipov leg.); male and female, S Primorje (Ussuri), env. Kamenushka, 3.VI.1989, Kurbatov leg.; male, S Primorje (Ussuri), 50 km E Ussurijsk, Upper Artemovka R., 7–8.VI.1990, S.Kazantsev leg. (SVK).

Study of the paratype of D. miranda , as well as additional material, has confirmed the validity of the species. It is easily separable from both Laterialis oculata (Gorham) and Punicealis medvedevi Kazantsev , being most closely related to Punicealis munda (Say) from the eastern USA, from which it is distinguishable by the details of its coloration and male genitalia. The synonymy to Punicealis medvedevi (referred to as Dictyoptera oculata ) was suggested by Nakane (1969) without any study of the types.
