Riodinidae - Addendum
The following species were recorded from the Indo-Chinese region in previous publications, however were omitted from the list for the reasons written below.
Abisara saturata maya Bennett, 1950
[ THAILAND ]
Abisara saturata maya ; Bennett,1950 : 39. (P)
---------------------------------------------------------------------------------
The populations from peninsular Thailand, except Yala and Satun, have been treated as ssp.maya.
However, the characteristics of genitalia are exactly the same as ssp.kausambioides.
Bennett (1950) mentioned that ssp.malay is distributed in peninsular Thailand, but I have never seen it until now.
Therefore, I am tentatively removing it from the list until reliable specimens are confirmed in the future.
