Reisia nana Laurentiaux-Vieira et al. 1952

Insecta - Dicondylia - Triadotypidae

Initially proposed as Triadotypus guillaumei forme nana, but as this name was given before 1961 and was not explicitly stated to be infrasubspecific, the name is valid as a subspecies (ICZN 45.6.4). Bechly's (1997) name Reisia nana is unjustified.

Alternative combination: Triadotypus nana
