Ascodipteron sp.

Material examined. Thailand: Chaiyaphum Province, Khon San Thung Kam Mang , 850 m, ex. R. paradoxolophus (KT-2784), 18 I 1972, Kam Mang, (2, BM-1009A–B, BPBM) .

Remarks. Two specimens appear to represent an undescribed species closely related to A. wenzeli . The primary differences are in the shape of the labial theca and the smaller and more sparsely distributed spiniform setae. These characters may represent an anomalous condition. Additional topotypic material from R. paradoxolophus should be collected and studied to determine the taxonomic status of these specimens.
