Comment

According to the short descripion of Oudemans (1929), the prodorsum is procurved, which implies that demeyeri belongs neither to Tydeinae, nor to Tydeidae as defined by André & Fain (2000). The only one slide in Oudemans' collection is in bad a state (André, 2005: 991). Its familial status is dubious but it might be a Tydaeolinae (Procurvata sensu André & Fain (2000: 438).
