Species, distribution and nomenclature
The single species Proretinata floridula (Distant, 1904) was long placed in the genus Angamiana (erected by Distant), but moved in 2024[3] after synonymy was established with the type Proretinata fuscula Chou & Yao, 1986. The distribution records for this species include southern China and Indochina.[1]
