Concavocorana kambaiti sp. nov.

Figs 1 K–L , 4 P , 20 A–F .

Dark brown. Head and thorax blackish brown, anterior margin and anterior areas of crown pale brown, forewings brown, legs brown.

Male genitalia. Pygofer wider than long both dorsal and ventral margins convex in middle region and narrowed posteriorly to small truncate lobe; ventral process thin, slightly exceeding pygofer. Subgenital plate more or less parallel sided with hair-like setae and marginal macrosetae. Style apophysis with well developed heel, abruptly attenuated and narrowed apically. Connective Y-shaped, stem longer than arms. Aedeagus complex, with extension of atrium well developed, dorsolateral lobes rounded without processes, aedeagal shaft without basal process but with dorsoapical margin angularly projecting ventrally in lateral view; ventral angular projection prominent and paired; gonopore apical.

Measurements. Male 8.2–8.8 mm long, head 1.45–1.9 mm wide across eyes and 1.9– 1.21 mm wide across hind margins of pronotum.

Material examined. MYANMAR: Holotype ♂, NE Burma: Kambaiti, 7000ft, April 1934, R. Malaise ( SMNH) . Paratypes 3 ♂ data as in holotype but 2 ♂ collected on 22.iv.1934, 1 ♂ on 25–27.iv.1934 (SMNH, BMNH).

Remarks. C. kambaiti sp. nov. resembles C. supercilia from Thailand and C. abbreviata (Jacobi) from China in having more elongate and triangular crown, and in the shape of the male pygofer however, it differs from both of them in the very compact shape of the aedeagus in posteroventral view.
