Comments.

After having compared the holotypes of Mispila tenuevittata (Fig. 6A, B ) and M. assamensis (Fig. 6D-G ), we found that both holotypes are identical, except for the different genders. Thus, we treat M. assamensis as a junior synonym of M. tenuevittata . Yan et al. (2023) marked the holotype of M. tenuevittata as a female in the legend, while they considered it as a male in the comments.

Distribution.

China (Guangxi, Hainan, Yunnan), India (Assam), Laos (Bokeo, Mekong, Vientiane), Thailand (Phang-nga, Ranong), Vietnam (Chapa, Thừa Thiên Huế).
