Diatrichalus xylobanoides Kleine, 1926: 167

( Figs 21–22 )

Material examined. Male , Papua New Guinea, Crater Mt. c.a., Haia, Supa, 06° 40´S ; 145° 03´E, 1100–1450 m (A0118, LMBC).

Remark. This is the first record of Diatrichalus xylobanoides besides the holotype.

The phallobase is mostly membranous, only the basal part of the ring is slightly sclerotized ( Figs 21–22 ).
