Neocollyris (Paracollyris) brevipronotalis (W. Horn, 1929)

Figs 1, 2

MATERIAL EXAMINED. Vietnam: Lao Cai Prov., 8 km NE of Sa Pa , road on Lao Cai, 22.37055 oN 103.87350 oE, 09.05.2013, 1♀, leg. A. Prosvirov ( MSPU) .

NOTES. Until now this species was known only on the type-specimen – female from Tonkin, Chapa (= Sa Pa) ( Horn, 1929; Naviaux, 1994; Wiesner et al., 2017). The main measurements of recently collected female are TL = 10.6 mm (11.0 mm in the holotype), HW = 1.5 mm, LLT = 0.35, LL ( T) = 0.25 mm, LW = 0.9 mm, PL = 2.1 mm, PW = 1.0 mm, PWb = 1.2 mm, EL = 6.8 mm, EW = 2.1 mm. Male still unknown. Naviaux (1994: 235) noted that N. (P.) brevipronotalis shared many characters with members of the subgenera Neocollyris W. Horn, 1901 and Isocollyris Naviaux, 1994 , so that only its distinctive aedeagus allowed reliable identification.
