Miquasus besucheti SDI

Miquasus besucheti (Dolin, 2001) SDI Quasimus (Miquasus) besucheti Dolin, 2001: 137 (original description; published type locality: Tiger Hill, India); Korneev & Cate, 2005: 12 (type catalogue); Cate, 2007: 190 (catalogue; “SD” as India: Sikkim, Darjeeling District). Miquasus besucheti (Dolin, 2001): Schimmel & Tarnawski, 2009: 108 (transferred to Miquasus; “ India: Darjeeling”); Gupta et al., 2018: 502 (missed enclosing authors in parenthesis; catalogue; “2C” as India: Sikkim, Darjeeling District). Type Locality. India: Tiger Hill, Darjeeling District, West Bengal. Type Depository. Holotype, M (??); 17 Paratypes, SU (SIZK). Distribution in India. West Bengal (Darjeeling District). General Distribution. India, Nepal (Schimmel & Tarnawski 2009). Remark. Schimmel & Tarnawski (2009: 108) erroneously missed to enclose the species’ author in parentheses and did not explicitly indicate the name as a new combination. Nevertheless, we consider them the proposers of this species transfer. Although Dolin (2001: 137) listed the holotype as deposited in MHNG and paratypes in MHNG and NHMB, the specimens could not be located in these collections (pers. comm. G. Cuccodoro, MHNG; I. Zürcher, NHMB). As the presence of this species in Sikkim requires confirmation, this locality is not included here.
