Amemboa (Amemboa) cristata Polhemus and Andersen View in CoL
Figs. 11 View FIGURES 8 – 21 , 25 View FIGURES 22 – 35
Amemboa (Amemboa) cristata Polhemus and Andersen 1984 View in CoL : Steenstrupia 95−97.
Diagnosis. Males of A. cristata have the pygophore with a pair of large posterolateral lobes and a bifid tip ( Fig. 25 View FIGURES 22 – 35 ). Further, the male profemur has two elongate hair patches ( Fig. 11 View FIGURES 8 – 21 ), whereas A. javanica has a single hair patch and A. aquafrigida and A. speciosa each have three hair patches. Males of A. cristata have a proximally incrassate profemur, whereas A. brevifasciata has an unmodified proximal half of the profemur. Males of A. cristata lack a mid-ventral profemoral tumescence beyond the proximal hair patch, whereas A. riparia has a well-developed tumescence.
Discussion. Amemboa cristata has been recorded from China, Malaysia, Thailand, and Vietnam ( Polhemus & Andersen 1984, Zettel et al. 2007). In Thailand, this species has been collected previously from Chaiyaphum, Chiang Mai, Kanchanaburi, Krabi, Lampang, Mae Hong Son, Phetchabun, Phrae, Sara Buri, and Satun provinces ( Polhemus & Andersen 1984, Zettel & Chen 1997, Vitheepradit 2000). In this study, this species was collected at the margin of streams throughout the mountain range.
