Mesovelia sp.

Material examined. – Swamp next to road to Telaga Tujuh: 1 male, 1 female (apterous), HZL8 .

Remarks. – This probably undescribed species is similar and closely related to M. horvathi , but differs in orange brown ground colour of body with weakly marked dark pattern, relatively long pronotum of apterous morph, short tarsomeres 2, and short apex of parameres of males. Polhemus & Polhemus (2001) regarded M. horvathi as a variable and widespread species (see above) and synonymized it with M. japonica Miyamoto, 1964 , from Japan. The species complex certainly needs careful revision.
