Paramphibotettix multidentatus ( Hancock, 1915)

Eugavialidium multidentatum: Hancock 1915 , Zheng & Liang 1985.

Paramphibotettix multidentatum: Günther 1938a , Blackith 1992.

Type material not examined, but original description and Günther's (1938) drawings of the holotype. The type female is deposited in the National Zoological collection of the Zoological Survey of India in Kolkata.

Type locality: E Myanmar: Dawna range: Sukli 600–900 m a.s.l.

Notes. The species is morphologically very close to I. birmanica (to the type specimens and those newly reported from Thailand) and should probably belong to the genus Indoscelimena . However, since we just examined original description and Günther's (1938) drawings and since the genus is not well understood, we cease from any formal taxonomic actions. Morphological characters of the species (after Hancock 1915) are—body and legs with yellowish markings, obtuse yellowish tubercles covering carinae of the pronotum, vertex slightly narrower than and eye, lateral ocelli in the level of the lower margins of the compound eyes, frontomedial projection elevated tubercle, between the shoulders there are elevated projections (= MML 1), MML 2 and MML 3 also evident and obtusely elevated, metalateral tubercle small and obtuse, towards the apex of the pronotum, tubercles of the lateral carinae becoming smaller and less distinct, ventrolateral projection strongly projected, fore and mid femora with tubercles on dorsal and ventral margins (mid has stronger tubercles), margins of the hind tibiae and the proximal segment of the hind tarsi moderately expanded.
