Acupalpus (Subacupalpus) gerdmuelleri JAEGER 2010

Description

Acupalpus (Subacupalpus) gerdmuelleri JAEGER, 2010

Material examined Laos Houaphan: Phu Phan Mt., 1500-1900m, ~ 20°12'N, 104°01'E, 17.V.-3.VI.2007, V. Kubáň (1♀ - NHMB). – Khammuan: Ban Khoun Ngeun, ~ 200 m, 18°07'N 104°29'E, 24-29.IV.2001, Pacholátko (1♀ - NHMB).

The species was hitherto known from Nepal and southwest China (Yunnan) (JAEGER 2010: 154). Here it is recorded for Laos for the first time. Though the records from Laos are based on females, which sometimes are difficult to differentiate from females of A. (Subacupalpus) sikkimensis ANDREWES, 1930 the two examined specimens belong obviously to A. gerdmuelleri due to the pronotal shape and the obliterated microsculpture on pronotal disc and elytral intervals. However, the records should be confirmed, ideally by males from the same locality.
