Manota planilobata Hippa, 2008

Figs 14 A, B, C

New record. 1 male, Phetchabun, Thung Salaeng Luang NP, Kaeng Wang Nam Yen, 16o36.587’N 100o53.395’E, 706 m, Malaise trap 22–29.xi.2006, no collector, T1160 (in SMNH).

Remarks. This species was recently described from only the holotype male from Doi Inthanon NP, Chiang Mai, Thailand ( Hippa 2008a). The new male ( Figs 14 A, B, C) differs in many respects and may represent a different species: the parastylar lobe is broader with the mesial margin less angular, the paraapodemal lobe is smaller, the plate-like mesial lobe subapically on the dorsal side of gonocoxa has the setae fewer and stronger, and the shape of the gonostylus is less angular and the strong setae on its mesial side are much longer.
