Drawida Michaelsen

Remarks. – Drawida is widely distributed in India, Burma, Malay Peninsula, Borneo, the Philippines, China, Japan, Korea, and Manchuria ( Gates, 1972). Three species, Drawida sp. A (sensu Gates, 1935, 1936a), Drawida sp. B (sensu Gates, 1936a) and Drawida malayana ( Gates, 1938) (= Drawida sp. C sensu Gates, 1936a), were reported from the Malay Peninsula. However, only one species, D. malayana , was named, and the others were considered as anonymous species due to immaturity of the specimens ( Gates, 1935, 1936a, 1938). In this study, none of the Drawida specimens collected from Singapore was fully matured, but they may be separated into the following three anonymous species.
