While the holotype female of Massuria bellula Xu, Han &amp; Li, 2008 was collected from the Tai Lung Experimental Station, Hong Kong, China by Ping-wing Chan on 30 June 1999. The male of Diaea simplex Xu, Han &amp; Li, 2008 was also discovered by him a week later from the same locality. The latter is the same species as the first because it has all of the diagnostic features of Massuria: the pentagonal abdomen with distinct submarginal pattern and the male palpal RTA modified into a distal process (Sen et al. 2015). Further examination of the male and female genitalia in this study confirms its synonymy with Diaea simplex Xu, Han &amp; Li, 2008 (compare Fig. 1 with Xu et al. 2008: 14, fig. 1) and the records of Pistius gangulyi from Hainan in Yaginuma and Wen (1983) were misidentified. The species M. bellula should thus be regarded a synonym of D. simplex Xu, Han &amp; Li, 2008.</p><p>Distribution.</p><p>Known only from Guangdong, Hainan (Yaginuma and Wen 1983; Tang and Li 2010a) and Hong Kong (Xu et al. 2008), China (Fig. 7).</p></div>	https://treatment.plazi.org/id/CA5C068593C15A728C4CE1F3A66EC26B	Public Domain	No known copyright restrictions apply.
