Loboscelidia laminata Kimsey, 2012: 22 .

Holotype ♂; Vietnam: Tuyen Quang Province, Na Hang Reserve ( CNC).

Material examined

Paratype VIETNAM • ♂; Dai Lanh , N of Nha Trang; 30 Nov.–5 Dec. 1960; C.M. Yoshimoto leg.; CNC .

Non-type VIETNAM • 1 ♂; Thua Thien Hue Province, Bach Ma NP , pheasant trail; 16.231° N, 107.852° E; 16 Sep. 2022; Y. Hisasue leg.; VNMN .

Remarks

Loboscelidia laminata resembles L. bachmaensis sp. nov., L. kafae and L. vietnamensis sp. nov., in having the following characteristics: frons microstriate; weakly convex cervical expansion; the absence of transverse carina behind ocelli; the basally stout hindfemur; and the flat ventral margin of hindfemur. However, L. laminata can be distinguished by the following characters: F2 less than twice as long as wide (twice as long as in other species), F11 less than 3.5 times as long as wide (much longer than 4.0 times as long as in L. kafae ), fore- and midtibial flanges narrower than the tubular part (twice as wide as the tubular part in L. kafae ), cu-a 0.50 times as long as R (nearly 0.30 times as long as R in L. bachmaensis sp. nov. and L. vietnamensis sp. nov.).

Distribution

Vietnam (Northern Vietnam, Central Vietnam, Southern Vietnam) ( Fig. 28 ).
