Treatment

Arrhaphes minusculus Candèze, 1878 : cxlii (unavailable genus name, incorrect subsequent spelling of Arhaphes not in prevailing usage— ICZN 1999: Art. 33.3; original description; published type locality: Himalaya).

Arhaphes minusculus ( Candèze, 1878) : Schimmel & Tarnawski, 2012a: 539, 541 (incorrect application of ICZN 1999: Art. 51.3; distributional record; India: Sikkim, West Bengal).

Type Locality. Himalaya*.

Type Depository. Type, SU (??).

Distribution in India. West Bengal (Darjeeling District).

General Distribution. India, Laos, Thailand ( Schimmel & Tarnawski 2012a).

Remark. The type material is not in RBINS (pers. comm. J. Constant, RBINS). Schimmel & Tarnawski (2012a: 539, 541) proposed a new combination using the correct genus name. According to ICZN 1999: Art. 51.3.1, parentheses are not to be used if the species-group name was originally combined with an incorrect generic name. As the presence of this species in Sikkim requires confirmation, this locality is not included here.
