4. Lankaphthona notatipennis (Medvedev, 2009) comb. nov.

Trachyaphthona (Longtitarsella) notatipennis Medvedev, 2009: 202. Type locality: Thailand, Khao Sok. Type depository: Medvedev collection.

Distribution.

Thailand.

Remarks.

Currently, we do not have access to the type specimens.

We have examined several specimens from Malaysia and India that are very similar to Longtitarsella notatipennis , except for the shape of the aedeagus, which is slightly different from the description provided by Medvedev (2009). The aedeagus is gradually widened from base to rounded apex in the specimens at our disposal, however, according to the original description and illustration provided by Medvedev (2009), the aedeagus is gradually narrowed from base to rounded apex. Hence the types should be examined to ensure identity of the species.
