Paralomanius mindanaoensis (Suzuki, 1977) new status

Lomanius longipalpus mindanaoensis Suzuki 1977: 22 , figs. 8–9, 45A–B.

Figures

FIGURE 78. Southeastern Asia showing the geographical distribution of the species of Lomanius. The six species have a distribution similar to that of Bonea, with the difference that they have been reported from Taiwan instead of Hainan, and that, with the discovery of the new species, the genus now is known to penetrate much more deeply into the Asian continent.
