Sogana stimulata Melichar View in CoL

Sogana stimulata Melichar, 1914:115 View in CoL ; Metcalf, 1954:132; Wilson & Malenovsky, 2007: 145. Holotype ♂, Indonesia (Mentawei Islands) (deposited in the Moravian Museum, Brno) [not examined].

Diagnosis. Length (from apex of vertex to tip of fore wings): ď 9.0 mm.

General color yellowish brown; vertex with one black spot at apex and a blackish linear stripe along the margins of sublateral carinae, carinae on vertex, pronotum and mesonotum reddish; frons with 5 carmine transverse bands. Fore wings without nebula apically. Postfemora with reddish stripes. Vertex with sublateral carinae distinctly curved outwards, nearly reaching to lateral margins; lateral areas between sublateral carinae and lateral carinae shallowly depressed. (After Melichar, 1914).

Female unknown.

Distribution. Indonesia (Mentawei Islands).

Remarks. Melichar (1914) described stimulata Melichar, 1914 based on one single male species from Mentawei Islands, Indonesia. We were not able to see any specimens of this species. This species is externally similar to S. robustocarina sp. nov. from Borneo (Kalabakan) but can be distinguished from the latter by the vertex with one black spot at apex, frons with 5 carmine transverse bands, fore wings without nebula apically, and vertex with the sublateral carinae distinctly curving outwards (see Melichar, 1914).
