What do you think of these two species?
Rhaphuma squamulifera Holzschuh, 2016 (TL: China:Shaaxi, Sichuan)
Rhaphuma seminuda Viktora, 2016 (TL: China:Sichaung) |

- None author compares his species with the other one.
- Viktora gives a picture of male genitalia of Rhaphuma seminuda, ...but there is no picture of male genalia of Rhaphuma squamulifera in Holzschuh paper.
So, those 2 species could be synonyms, but we can not compare holotype specimens...
In case of synonymy, Holzschuh paper has been published March, 25th 2016 ; Viktora's paper January, 31st, 2016 (cf Titan database).

For my part, I see no difference between these two specimens. |

Xavier, Thank you for your answer.
I have some specimens from Hubei and I found this problem, so I just wanted to ask. |
