Miccolamia scintillans Holzschuh, 2010: 204, fig. 51. Type locality: Soppong – Pai, Thailand.

Type material examined.

Holotype (Fig. 47 ): • female, “ NW Thailand / 1. – 6. 5. 1991 / SOPPONG – PAI 1800 m / LEG. PACHOLÁTKO ”; “ HOLOTYPUS / Miccolamia / scintillans n. sp. / det. C. Holzschuh 2010 ” [red label] ( CCH), two photographs examined provided by Carolus Holzschuh .

Additional material examined.

Yunnan: • Honghe, Lvshuihe , 640 m, 23°01'41"N, 103°24'13"E, 20. V. 2018, leg. L. Z. Meng, cross window trap ( CAWW), four photographs examined taken by Andreas Weigel in 2025 .

Remarks.

Holzschuh (2010) distinguished this species from M. savioi mainly by the pronotum more conspicuously constricted anteriorly and without a white hairy band basally, pronotal disk less convex in lateral view, and the subbasal tubercles of elytra without tufts of setae on tips. The combinations of the above-mentioned characters are also sufficient to distinguish this species from all current congeners.
