Pahangiessa bulboscutellata HEISS 1993 ( Fig. 1, 2 ; photo 4)

As only he type specimens are known to date, a new record is presented here:

13, Malaysia, Pahang, Cameron Highlands, Tanah Rata env., Gg. Beremban 1400m, 28.IV.1997 Schuh & Lang lg. (CEHI).

R e m a r k s: As both these micropterous species were found as well as on different mountains of the same area or on the same one (Gn. Beremban) at different altitudes it can be expected, that they represent endemic taxa with very limited distribution range. Most probably there might occur further species of this genus on other mountains of the Cameron Highlands.
