Manota aconcinna Hippa, 2008

Figs. 5 A, B, C

Records. 1 male, Petchaburi, Kaeng Krachan NP, Panernthung/km27/water pump, 1249.151'N 9922.483'E, 950 m, Malaise trap 8–15.viii.2008, Sirichai & Chusak leg., T4350 (in QSBG).

Remarks. The species is only known from Thailand. The earlier records are from Pa Hin Ngam NP, Chaiyaphum, Doi Inthanon NP, Chiang Mai ( Hippa 2008), Thung Salaeng Luang NP, Phitsanulok, Phu Kradueng NP, Loei, Thung Salaeng Luang NP, Phetchabun, Khao Yai NP, Nakhon Nayok and Nakhon Ratchasima ( Hippa 2009).

The hypopygium of Manota aconcinna may appear differently in different mounts ( Figs. 5 A, B, C; Hippa 2008: figs. 2 B, C, D). The claw-like lobes ventrally on the aedeagus ( Fig. 5 B) may be difficult to observe and were not noted in the original description ( Hippa 2008). In this respect the species is similar to M. chi ( Hippa 2009: fig. 4 C). Further, the lobes posterodorsally on the gonocoxa may seemingly differ greatly ( Fig. 5 A, Hippa 2008: fig. 2 B).
