MATERIAL EXAMINED

CAMBODIA: 1♀ ( Fig. 1 A–B ): Mondulkiri Province, Keo Seima Wildlife Sanctuary, near O Pam station, 12°11’39”N 107°01’01”E, 14–24.XI.2018, leg. J. Constant, I.G.: 33.919 ( RBINS) .

MATERIAL EXAMINED FROM PHOTOGRAPHS

CAMBODIA: holotype ♀ ( Fig. 1 C–D ): Cambodia, Mouhot ( BMNH) .

NOTE. The species was described by FENNAH (1963) in the genus Augilodes Fennah, 1963 based on a mutilated female specimen collected by H. Mouhot in Cambodia 150 years ago, without a precise collecting location ( Fig. 1 ). It was later recorded from South Vietnam (Dong Nai Province, Vinh Cuu District, Ma Da – 11°15'33"N 107°04'19"E) by EMELJANOV (2013) who described the genus Discote to accommodate this species and provided a description of the tegmina. The male genitalia and probable sexual dimorphism need documentation for this species. This will allow a better comparison of the genus with Augilodes Fennah, 1963 .
