Taxonomic notes. The validitidy of the many names created
in recent years in the Vietnamese literature cannot be evaluated.
The descriptions are of little use and the quality of the
illustrations of most species does not allow to guess their
identity. As most species have very restricted ranges, it is
expected that those from widely distant localities might in
fact be valid, while the many species described from exactly
the same locality may be found to represent single species.
