( Fig. 7 )

Protohermes assamensis Kimmins, 1948: 773 . Type locality: India (Assam).

Diagnosis. Head yellowish brown, laterally with a pair of small black markings. Pronotum yellowish brown, laterally with two pairs of broad black markings. Forewing pale smoky brown, with some yellowish markings, among which a distinct narrow transverse band is present proximally. Male tergum 9 distinctly convex posteriad; sternum 9 with arched posterior incision; ectoproct short, bilobed, with ventral lobe relatively short.

Material examined. 1♂, MYANMAR: N, 25 km E Putao, 800 m, env. Nan Sa Bon vill., 6-9.V.1998, S. Murzin & V. Siniaev ( LDPC).

Distribution. India (Assam, Manipur, Meghalaya); Myanmar (Kachin).

Remarks. This species was previously redescribed by Liu et al. (2007a). However, the specimens identified as P. assamensis from China and Vietnam in Liu et al. (2007a) were subsequently determined to be a different species from the true P. assamensis (unpublished data). Protohermes assamensis is known only from northeastern India and nearby adjacent areas including northern Myanmar.
