Chunxiania fania Xu, Wang & Fang 2022
† Chunxiania fania Xu, Wang & Fang, 2022 = † Chunxiania fascia Gu, Yuan & Ma, 2024 syn. nov. Comments. = † Chunxiania fascia Gu, Yuan & Ma, 2024 syn. nov. is synonymized under † C. fania. The type specimen of † C. fascia syn. nov. is an adult male, just like the type specimen of † C. fania. When comparing the morphological characteristics of both holotype males and the additional specimens studied by Cadena-Castañeda et al. (2023), it is evident that they belong to the same species. The shape of the foretibia, the presence of tympana on both sides and the structure of the “dactyls” are very similar. The shape of the pronotum and the pair of spots on it also match. Additionally, the diagnostic characteristics of the genus, which are the tubercles or conical projections on the face, are present in both males. Based on the arguments discussed, the synonymy of † C. fascia syn. nov. is established.
