Notes

The figured specimen in Ek-Amnuay ([2007],2012) is from N.E.Putao, Kachin State, Myanmar and the locality of 'Doi Pha Hom Pok' is incorrect. The record in Thailand has been known only one male at 'Phu Phing palace, Doi Suthep' from insect dealer by Miyata & Hanafusa (1994) until now. I suspect it must be an incorrect date.
