14. Reichenbachella budha (Raffray, 1891) *

( Fig. 3O , 4 L )

Specimens examined. 1 male, 2 females, 7–8 TF ; 1 male, 2 females, 7–8 PO ; 3 males, 11 females, 8–9 PO .

Remarks. The genus Reichenbachella was defined by Jeannel (1949) as a subgenus of Reichenbachia , and is separated from Reichenbachia by having the coarsely punctate pronotum and the male genitalia whose parameres each with one or two long setae in the basal part. This species is very common in Indochina Peninsula by light trap. It is characterized by the middlesized body, the weakly arcuate fore tibia with short and acute mucro at apex, and the mid tibia with a short spine near apex in the male. It has not been known from Yezin ( Nomura and Aung, 2021c). The male genitalia of this species is shown in Fig. 4J , which is completely coincident with its figure from Saïgon (= Ho Chi Minh, southern Vietnam) shown by Jeannel (1952).
