  • REMARKS. Kapur (1948) illustrated the male habitus, male genitalia and siphonal capsule based on the specimens from Mongphu and Maymyo (Myanmar). A. birmanicus can be distinguished from closely related species by the following characters: the colour of elytra black with two spots, dorsum moderately convex and densely pubescent, penis relatively long, curved almost in a circle in the whole length. Penis guide symmetrical with apex arcuate or truncate in ventral view (Huo et al., 2013). Here A. birmanicus is reported for the first time from India,
