Thalassodes maipoensis Galsworthy, 1997 View in CoL , Mem. Hong Kong nat . Hist. Soc., 21: 130, text-fig. 3; pl. 1, fig. 22. Holotype 3, China: Hong Kong, Maipo. (BMNH)

Material examined. Holotype ( BMNH), 3, CHINA: Hong Kong: Maipo Education Centre N.T., 31.VIII.1994, coll. R. C. Kendrick (Slide No. 19176); paratype ( BMNH), Maipo, 1Ƥ.

Diagnosis. The male genitalia are close to those of T. depulsata Walker, 1861 (Sulawesi, Borneo) for both having a small scobinate valva basal process, an almost quadrate sacculus, and a tongue-like harpe, which is smaller than in T. immissaria . However the harpe is much smaller in T. maipoensis , and bigger and rounded in T. depulsata . The posterior margin of the male eighth sternite is shallowly concave and arc-like, whereas it is more deeply concave in T. depulsata . T. maipoensis is different from other congeners by the lack of setal patches on the third sternite, and because the hind tibia is not dilated and lacks a hair-pencil and terminal extension.
