MATERIAL. Holotype – ♀, Malaysia: Sabah State, Manukan I. in ~ 5 km NWW

of Kota-Kinabalu City on Borneo I., ~sea level, secondary forest, on leaf of bush at night, 24–25.IV 2013, A. Gorochov, M. Berezin, V. Gorochova, E. Tkatsheva.

DESCRIPTION. Female. General appearance very similar to that of nominoty-

pical subspecies; however, hind lobe of pronotum somewhat shorter and covering only base of dorsal tegminal fields (vs. covering almost third of these fields) as well as less distinctly separated from rest of pronotum (for comparison see Figs 7 and 9 ),

and genital plate without distinct transverse fold ( Figs 10 , 29 ).

Male unknown.

MEASUREMENTS. Length (in mm). Body 11; body with wings 14; pronotum

3.2; visible parts of tegmina 7.8; hind femora 11; ovipositor 5.4.

COMPARISON. The new subspecies differs from Sumatran A. l. legitima in the above-mentioned characters of pronotum and genital plate in female. From similar

A. malacca , the new subspecies is distinguished by the distal part of female genital plate not concave laterally, as well as by the ventrolateral keels of this plate not inflated (see Figs 29, 31 ); and from A. thaumasia , by the apical part of female genital plate more truncated and with the lateral keels also not inflated (see Figs 29, 30 ).

ETYMOLOGY. This subspecies is named after its type locality.
