Eupoa pappi sp. n. Figs 66-71

Type.

Holotype ♂ (HNHM) from Thailand Trang Prov., Thung Khai Botanic Garden, primary lowland rainforest, 12.11.2004, L. Papp & M. Földvári.

Etymology.

The species is named after Dr. László Papp (Budapest, Hungary), who collected the holotype.

Diagnosis.

By having the massive compound terminal apophysis with a deep longitudinal groove on its apical edge (Fig. 67), the male of Eupoa pappi sp. n. is most similar to that of Eupoa thailandica sp. n. (Figs 109, 115), from which it differs in having the larger open cavity of tegulum and the shape of tegular and compound terminal apophyses. The female of Eupoa pappi sp. n. remains unknown.

Distribution.
