Camptopteroides armata Viggiani : Viggiani, 1989: 147 (illustration of male genitalia).

Camptopteroides (Camptopteroides) armata Viggiani : Huber & Lin, 1999: 32.

Diagnosis. MALE. Body dark brown; fore wing with uneven brown tinge. Antenna ( Fig. 28 ) slender; scape with faint sculpture; flagellum 10-segmented, with fl 2 very short, ring-like, and all segments without mps but with setae. Mesoscutum with reticulate sculpture ( Fig. 29 ). Fore wing ( Fig. 30 ) with moderately pointed apex, 9.1× as long as wide, longest marginal seta about 3.3× maximum wing width. Digitus of genitalia with two spines.

Type material. Holotype male ( MHNG) on slide ( Fig. 26 ) labeled: 1. “ Ceylon Hatton , 9.11.1970 1400 m. Montagne boisée à l’est de la ville. Tamisage au forêt”; 2. “ Camptopteroides armata n. gen. n. sp. Olotipe [sic] ♂ det. G. VIGGIANI 1974 coll. BESUCHET-LÖBL”; 3. “Prép. micr. MHNG No ENTO 84605”.

Distribution. Sri Lanka.

Remarks. This species is known from a single specimen, the holotype male, collected by the coleopterists C. Besuchet and I. Löbl by sifting in forest (almost certainly of soil and leaf litter and then extracting specimens using Winkler funnels). The holotype is poorly mounted in a darkened, water-soluble Faure medium. Only its digital images were examined ( Figs 27–30 ).
