Nyctiophylax (Paranyctiophylax) abaya , new species group

Species in this group have variously elongated, monolobed gonopods, each with a very large ventrobasal “elbow.” This characteristic gonopod structure is accompanied both by well-developed, downward-curving ventral and well-sclerotized dorsal paraproctal processes. There are species with dorsal paraproctal, spine-like processes that seem to be associated with the phallic organ as parameres.

This species group includes 24 primarily Oriental species and 1 species from the Neotropical Region: N. abaya Schmid ( Sri Lanka), N. amo Malicky ( Myanmar) , N. anryutah , new species (Sumatra), N. archemoros Malicky ( Thailand) , N. argentensis Malicky ( Vietnam) , N. amykos Malicky ( Nepal) , N. antaios Malicky (Andaman Islands) , N. antenor Malicky ( Nepal) , N. buoc Oláh and Johanson ( Vietnam) , N. catunujah Oláh and Johanson ( Myanmar) , N. chiangmaiensis Malicky and Chantaramongkol ( Thailand) , N devanampriva Schmid ( Sri Lanka), N. dhauli Oláh and Johanson ( India: Orissa), N. echion Malicky and Thani ( Thailand) , N. elongatus Flint ( Suriname) , N. kabaensis Neboiss ( Indonesia: Sulawesi), N. lumarius Neboiss (Sulawesi) , N. sarug Malicky ( Philippines) , N. suthepensis Malicky and Chantaramongkol ( Thailand) , N. taiwanensis Hsu and Chen (Taiwan) , N. tallawakanda Schmid ( Sri Lanka), N. tonngachang Malicky and Chantaramongkol ( Thailand) , N. valmiki Malicky and Chantaramongkol ( Thailand) , N. vetuluya Schmid ( Sri Lanka), N. zadok Malicky and Chantaramongkol ( Thailand) .
