Abstract
    The status of the names Pherbina testacea (Sack, 1939) and Limnia setosa Yano, 1978 is revised based on the examination of the type material of both the species, additional specimens and an analysis of the published data. The following taxonomic changes are proposed: Ph. testacea is returned to the genus Limnia, as Limnia testacea, comb. resurr., and L. setosa, syn. nov., is placed in synonymy with L. testacea. The records of L. testacea (under both names) are reviewed. Limnia testacea is recorded for the first time from Mongolia, which considerably extends the range of this species.
