( Figs. 71–78 )

Eophileurus malyi Endrődi, 1978: 184 (type locality: “ Patani, Sudsiam”) fig. 2 (parameres); Endrődi 1985: 667, fig. 2017 (parameres); Krajčik 2005: 64; Krajčik 2012: 102; Jákl & Zídek 2015: 19.

Type material examined. Holotype (♂, HNHM, Figs. 71–75 ), labeled: “ Patani Südsiam Friederichs // I. q. // Holotypus Eophileurus malyi Endr. ”, examined through photographs provided by Ottó Merkl . Paratype (♀, HNHM, Figs. 76–78 ), labeled: “ Patani Südsiam Friederichs // Paratypus Eophileurus malyi Endr. ”, examined through photographs provided by the late Ottó Merkl .

Additional material examined. None.

Distribution. Thailand.

Remarks. Eophileurus malyi Endrődi, 1978 was described from southern Thailand with no additional material known to literature since its discovery. The type series ( Figs. 71–78 ) clearly suggest its close relationship to E. confinis Prell, 1913 but the parameres are structurally different in having an extra pair of backward process at the center of the parameres in frontal view ( Fig. 73 ).
