18. Phygela sp. Fig. 16H

Remarks.-

We tentatively identified the species to be close to P. marginata Brunner von Wattenwyl, 1878. One female was collected from a light trap. We recognized this species as Phygela owing to the tegmen with Rs and M angled at each cross vein and becoming obliterated in a series of large polygonal cells which occupy the radial field beyond the middle; and presence of a small lateral lobe between the subgenital plate and pileolus (this makes it different from an otherwise similar Pseudopsyra Hebard, 1922). Our specimen appears to differ from the female of P. marginata from Borneo by a more elongated ovipositor and a stouter subgenital plate, but further examination of the three described species from Southeast Asia is needed to confirm species identity.
