Pahamunaya khoii , described by Oláh and Johanson (2010) from Vietnam. However, certain characters seemed to be either different or lacking. Upon receipt of the holotype kindly provided by Prof. János Oláh,

we determined that indeed we were dealing with the same species. Several characters were either omitted or not represented properly in the original description. We note that the posterior ocellar warts of the head are nearly triangular in shape with the acute angle directed anterolaterad. The inferior appendages bear paired filamentous processes similar to those of P. spinifera , P. jihmita , and P. directoris , but are not included in the original description. Finally, overall the inferior appendage is more robust and complicated compared to the original illustration. The holotype agrees with our specimen in all of these characters. We provide new illustrations of this species ( Fig. 3 View Figure 3 ) to reflect these features.
