| Abstract |
In 2007, Dekkers described Colubraria pulchrafuscata as a new species originating from the South China Sea and compared it with Colubraria castanea Kuroda & Habe, 1952 (= Colubraria tenera (Gray, 1839) and Colubraria springsteeni Parth, 1991. Yet, the comparison was based upon a false identification of the latter and comparison of the type figures (Parth, 1991) with the type series(holotype and three paratypes) of C. pulchrafuscata lead to the conclusion that C. pulchrafuscata is a junior synonym of C. springsteeni and should therefore be rejected as a valid taxon. The distributional ranges of both Colubraria springsteeni (Japan) and Colubraria brinkae Parth, 1992 (Queensland) are extended. |
