Anelytra (Euanelytra) boku Helfert et Sänger, 1997

Fig. 90

MATERIAL. Thailand: Surat Thani Prov., ~ 40 km WWS of Phanom Town, environs of

Khao Sok National Park , primary/secondary forest, 20–29.VII 1996, 1 ♀, A. Gorochov ( ZIN) .

NOTE. This female is in accordance to the original description of this species which was described from the locality not far from Khao Sok National Park (Helfert & Sänger, 1997).

This species is similar to A. (E.) signata and A. (E.) parasignata in the body colouration

(anterior surface of epicranium is dark brown; pronotum has four dark spots on the disc), but its body (including head) is longer than in these species, its female tegmina are distinctly more protruding beyond pronotum, its male cerci are more similar to those of A. (E.) malaya than to those of A. (E.) signata and A. (E.) parasignata , and its female genital plate is also different ( Fig. 90 ). However, differences between my female of A. (E.) boku and unknown female of A. (E.) malaya are unclear. Moreover, Lichnofugia malaya from the locality situated not very far from Khao Sok National Park (Tan & Ingrisch, 2014) is also very similar to A. (E.) boku (its secondary homonymy and possible synonymy with A. malaya and A. boku are mentioned above, in the subgeneric key for this genus).
