Remarks

In comparison with the specimens examined by Gauld & Mitchell (1981), Vietnamese specimens have the fore wing length 11.7–19.2 mm (vs 15.0–17.0 mm), CI = 0.38–0.5 (vs 0.5–0.58), ICI = 0.47–0.74 (vs 0.43–0.51). Their lower faces are narrower (0.63–0.71× as wide as high vs 0.72–0.76 ×) and antennae with 53–63 flagellomeres (vs 58–63).
