MATERIAL. ♂, N Vietnam, Thanh Hoa, 5–6 km SW Lang- Chanh , 23.I.1989, B. Korotyaev leg. ; ♂, Vietnam, Gialai-Kontum, Buon-Loi , 1–5.I.1990, Yu. Zaitsev leg. ( ICM) .

VARIATION. Whereas the structure of the aedeagus in Podosilis murzini Wittmer, 1997 appears to be subject to little variation, the pronotum may vary from uniformly orange testaceous, as in the specimen from Thanh Hoa, collect- ed by Dr. Boris Korotjaev ( Fig. 20 ) to almost uniformly black, as in the specimen from Gialai-Kontum collected by Dr. Yurij Zaitsev. The coloration of legs may also vary from uniformly testaceous in the former to uniformly black in the latter specimen.
