7. Psolodesmus mandarinus kuroiwae Oguma, 1913 Psolodesmus dorothea kuroiwae Oguma, 1913 a, p. 313, “Ryukyu”; Oguma, 1913 b, p. 153, “Loochoo”. The cotypes are represented by 3 ♂ 3 ♀: the male specimen bearing the label “Yayeyama, VIII. 1907 ” is selected as lectotype. According to Chen (1950) the Formosan P. dorothea Williamson (1904) should be treated as a local race of P. mandarinus MacLachlan which is found in South China and northern Formosa. It seems, therefore, to be reasonable to place kuroiwae Oguma as another subspecies of mandarinus as Chen supposed.
