Comments.

This material represents the first record of the Horniella hirtella group in Myanmar. The form of the genital complex (Fig. 5H) is highly similar to that of Horniella philippina Yin & Li ( Yin and Li 2014: fig. 49F), but the Myanmar population probably represents a different species insomuch as its distribution is considered, as well as the presence of a much longer median carina on tergite IV.
