Material examined. — Holotype: female ( BMNH), East Malaysia: Sarawak, Baram river , coll. J. C. Moulton, 1920.

Diagnosis and discussion. — The female type of J. moultonii is very similar to other females of Jambiliara described above, it thus clearly belongs to this genus. It differs from J. macroptera and J. selita by the triangular female subgenital plate, a wider head, and the antennal scrobae having the ventral side black. As the differences between the females of Jambiliara are weak, we have to wait, until the male will be discovered to find more distinct diagnostic characters. An extensive description of the type is given by Karny (1923).
