            <p> Pseuditara lineaticeps Chopard, 1969: 317 , synonymized by Ichikawa, et al., 2000: 273 </p>
            <p>  Holotype information. Type locality: China:  Taiwan ,  Arisan (April?), Musha (May?, June?). Deposited in National Taiwan University. </p>
            <p>Material not examined.</p>
            <p> Remarks. Shiraki primarily described and illustrated coloration and many characters that are possessed by most species of the genus, and, especially, he did not study and aspects of male genitalia (Shiraki, 1930). Thus, subsequent researchers could only identify the species by coloration and the minor considerations of ovipositor length (Gorochov, 1997). In 2000, the male genitalia of this species were illustrated, meanwhile,  P. lineaticeps was placed as junior synonym of  P. formosanus (Ichikawa et al., 2000) . Although no one disputes this conclusion (Cigliano et al., 2020; Gorochov, 2008), we still have some questions based on this species as follows: (1) Illustrations of the genitalia, were not accompanied by which specimen was used and where it collected from. Thus, we question whether the specimen used for genitalia drawing of  P. formosanus is the type or the material collected from the type locality; (2) Regarding synonymous relationship between  P. formosanus and  P. lineaticeps , no explanation for this change was proveded. We discovered that the the examined type specimen of  P. lineaticeps is female (Female, Myanmar, Nam Tisang, alt. 3000 ft., NHM, Kingdon Ward) (Ichikawa et al., 2000), thus we surmise this combination was based solely on external features and in all probability the primary character was coloration. Indeed, after examining specimens collected from Fujian (adjacent to Taiwan), Guangxi and Hongkong (adjacent to Vietnam and Guangzhou), and Xizang (adjacent to Myanmar), we found all the males possessed similar genitalia and had two colour morphs, light brown or dark brown. Based on our experience in the field, we conclude most individuals are one species and with two coloration morphs since we collected them in same time and same place. We feel that only one species is involved. </p>

            <p>Description. Male. Head small, slightly wider than pronotum. Occiput narrowed, smooth and convex. Median ocellus smaller than lateral ocelli and laterally expanded. Antennal scape somewhat square and wider than half width of rostrum. Labrum apical margin somewhat rounded. Terminal maxillary palpus truncated and widened, longer than 3rd palpus. Terminal labial palpus rod-like, longer than total length of remaining palpi. Pronotum almost oblong, apical and basal margins nearly similar in width, basal margin straight and apical margin almost straight, they both pilose. Forewing long and narrow, exceeding the apex of abdomen; basal field armed with 4 longitudinal veins which oblique and paralleled; lateral field bearing 4 longitudinal veins (not counting branch vein). Fore tibia armed with a small external tympanum and very large oval internal tympanum. Hind tibia possessing dorsal spurs numbered 5:4 (inner: outer). Hind tarsus armed with dorsal short spines and numbered 7:8 (inner: outer).</p>
            <p> Metanotal gland intraspecific varied. Of light brown individuals: the middle of anterior margin upward curved; posterior margin ornamented with rhombus and concavity medially, and a large round or square lateral vesicle in each side (Figs. 16A, B). Of dark brown ones: the middle of anterior margin upward curved; posterior margin ornamented with rhombus and concavity medially, and a small round lateral vesicle in each side (Figs. 16C, D). In previous study, Gorochov (1997) indicated that  P. fuscus bearing small rounded vesicles and those large, round or square vesicles should be of the species of  P. lineaticeps (?=  P. formosanus ), but we observed both of types in one species,  P. fuscus . Anterior part of anal plate wide and inward concave medially, posterior part bearing two processes shaped as fold line and ornamented with hairs (Figs. 16 E–H). </p>
            <p>Male genitalia (Fig. 17). Of epiphallus, middle lobes very small, lateral lobes rather large and inferior margin inclined; accessory structure of epiphallus vimineous with apex curved outward and hooklike. Ectoparameres long and curved proximally, apical part slightly narrowed with short spines.</p>
            <p>Female. Similar to male (Figs. 15A, C).</p>
            <p>Coloration. Coloration changed in individuals. Some individuals are colored dark brown. In dark ones, the head is colored dark brown and ornamented with white stripes. Their pronotal disc and hind wing colored dark brown and the legs colored dark brown with light brown spots. Others were colored light brown. Head colored light brown and ornamented with white stripes, pronotal disc and hind wings light brown; legs light brown with dark brown spots.</p>
            <p>Measurements. Male (n=14). BL 17.04±1.89, HW 2.73±0.77, PL 1.66±0.64, PW 3.27±0.85, FWL 13.76±1.45, HWL 4.41±0.79, HFL 7.62±1.43, HTL 5.58±1.01, HML 4.32±0.68. Female (n=15). BL 17.08±2.34, HW 3.09±0.80, PL 1.69±0.43, PW 3.43±0.62, FWL 13.98±1.65, HWL 5.09±0.62, HFL 7.52±1.14, HTL 6.50±1.19, HML 4.44±1.15, OL 7.52±0.61.</p>
            <p> Remarks. Since Gorochov compared the type of this species with a paratype of  P. lineaticeps (?=  P. formosanus ) (Gorochov, 1988, 1997), we believe that they are different species. But we doubt that there would be an incorrect identification on material collected from China, which were mentioned in Gorochov’s works. He discussed three specimens collected from Guangdong Province, China (three females, China, Prov. Guangdong, Guangzhou ‘Canton’, Mell S.V., deposited in Natural Museum of Humboldt University, Berlin) and he identified two of them which bear dark coloration as  P. fuscus and one colored light as  P. lineaticeps (?=  P. formosanus ) (Cigliano et al., 2020; Gorochov, 1988, 1997). All specimens we collected in China (see details in materials examined above) were identified as  P. fuscus by features of male genitalia (accessory structure of epiphallus of this species armed with hook-like apex) and they are vary in coloration, of them some ones are colored dark while others colored light. Thus, we do not think it was correct to identify those three females (in Natural Museum of Humboldt University) based on their coloration and, to a great extent, we think they are probably the same species as we have here. In addition, there is a problem on illustrations of  P. lineaticeps (?=  P. formosanus ) in Gorochov (1997: Figs 169–178), since these figures were drawn based on specimens of Province Vinh Phu, Vietnam but not the type specimen. If the author did not check the genitalia of them and only judged them by their coloration, we could assume these specimens bear light coloration should not be the species of  P. lineaticeps (?=  P. formosanus ). But, in this case, how do we understand the difference, such as structure of metanotal gland, between species of  P. fuscus and  P. lineaticeps (?=  P. formosanus ) as indicated in Gorochov (1997). Our male specimens possess similar genitalia and they vary not only in coloration (Fig.15) but also in structure of metanotal gland (Fig. 16). Thus, we still believe it is reliable to use genitalia features to identify the species of the genus, but, at least for now, not coloration and some others mentioned in literature (Gorochov, 1997). </p>
