Loboscelidia asiana Kimsey, 1988

Loboscelidia asiana Kimsey, 1988: 68.

Holotype ♂; Viet Nam: Dalat (BPBM).

Remarks

Loboscelidia asiana resembles L. barbata sp. nov. and L. sisik Kimsey, 2012 in having the following characteristics: scale-like setae on the lower gena and a dark brown body color. However, it can be distinguished by the following characteristics: frontal projection is triangular (rectangular in L. barbata sp. nov.); scape striated (smooth in L. sisik) and more than 3.5 times as long as wide (less than 3.0 times as long as wide in L. sisik); scrobal sulcus absent (present in the other two species); M vein curved (nearly straight in other two species); and Rs 1.5 times as long as R (more than twice as long as the R in other two species).

Distribution

Vietnam (Southern Vietnam) (Fig. 26).
