Type locality: Carin Asciuii Ghecù , southern Shan State, central Myanmar .

Material examined: MHNG-ENTO-00013302; ♀; Thailand, Chiang Mai, Doi Suthep; 3. 87; coll. de Rougemont; “ Smetanabatrus ghecu Yin & Li 2015 , Det. Yin 2018” .

Distribution: Myanmar (southern Shan State); Thailand (Chiang Mai), new country record ( Fig. 2 View Fig ).

Comments: Given the similar body size (3.38 mm) and proportions, roundly broadened inner and outer margins of the maxillary palpomere IV, presence of a reversed ‘U’-shaped sulcus on the vertex, and coarsely punctate head and pronotum, the present specimen can be readily identified as conspecific with the population from central Myanmar. The present record expands the distributional range of this species some 220 km to the southeast from the type locality.
