Phothaworn leg., 2.IV.2023, 1♀ (CTH) .</p><p>Remarks and Distribution. The species has been report- ed from Malaysia, Indonesia, and the Philippines (Kuijten 1992). The current record represents the northernmost distribution of this species. In addition, the aedeagus of the above reported male specimen slightly differs from Kuijten’s description of Sundaic specimens: the concavity of the parameres in lateral view is very shallow, and the apices of the parameres are not curved downward as depicted in Kuijten’s figures.</p><p>Parastasia dimidiata Erichson in Westwood, 1845 แมลง นูนเขาแคระชายเลน</p><p>(Figs 4, 12–14, 45)</p><p>Parastasia dimidiata Erichson in Westwood, 1845 a: 98 (original description; type locality: Batum, Riau Archipelago); Erichson in Westwood 1845 b: 101 (description); Ohaus 1900: 258 ( P. heterocera group); Ohaus 1918: 37 ( P. heterocera group); Ohaus 1934: 105 ( P. heterocera group); Machatschke 1972: 95 (catalog); Kuijten 1992: 58 (re-description, key, clypeus and parameres).</p><p>Parastasia nitidula Erichson in Westwood, 1845 a: 98 (original description; synonym of P. dimidiata by Kuijten (1992: 58)).</p><p>Urleta ometoides Westwood, 1875: 238 [original description; synonym of P. dimidiata by Arrow (1899: 486)].</p><p>Parastasia heterocera Ohaus, 1898: 27 [original description; synonym of P. dimidiata by Kuijten (1992: 58)].</p><p>Material examined: Thailand: Nakhon Si Thammarat Prov., Nopphitum Dist., C. Phothaworn leg., 6. V .2023, 1♂ (CTH) .</p><p>Remarks and distribution. The species was originally described in two separate publications. The first description appeared in Transactions of the Royal Entomological Society of London, Vol. 4, Part 1, authored by Erichson in</p><p>Westwood (1845 a: 98). The second was published in the Proceedings of the Entomological Society of London, also by Westwood (1845 b: 101). While the Transactions and Proceedings were usually published together, an exception occurred between 1840 and 1846, during which they were issued separately. This irregular publishing practice led to discrepancies between the two sources, prompting later authors to treat their publication dates independently (Wheeler 1912). The Proceedings recorded a date range from 1 January to 4 March 1844, but its actual publication date was 1 October 1845. Meanwhile, Transactions Vol. 4, Part 1 was made publicly available on 7 April 1845.</p><p>Kuijten (1992) reported that the species was previously known to inhabit small islands or coastal regions in India, Myanmar, Malaysia, Singapore, and Indonesia. Its wide distribution is likely linked to its bionomics, particularly its association with rotting Rhizophora L. ( Rhizophoraceae) wood during the larval stage. This study officially report a new record of this species from South Thailand. Additionally, a photograph by Kunut Polwichai (2017) from Chumphon Province, Thailand, showed a P. dimidiata specimen with primarily yellowish elytra (Fig. 45), whereas the specimen examined in this study was completely dark.</p></div>	https://treatment.plazi.org/id/039687C8FFB74D7DFCC9F983FC71FC0D	Public Domain	No known copyright restrictions apply.

However, this study surprisingly reports its presence on the Asian mainland for the first time, at a location remarkably distant from the type locality. In fact, the species appears to have a much wider distribution across the Indochinese region than previously recognized. Additionally, a fresh male specimen was collected in a white rotting log, while the other one was caught by a light trap.</p></div>	https://treatment.plazi.org/id/039687C8FFB64D7DFCC6FC63FBDDF96D	Public Domain	No known copyright restrictions apply.

The taxon was first described from Sumatra, Indonesia (Westwood 1844). Its taxonomic status, along with that of P. discolor Westwood, 1841, was the subject of ongoing debate (Arrow 1899; Ohaus 1900). A later comprehensive revision reclassified it as a subspecies of P. discolor, determining that P. mirabilis and P. discolor scutellaris were indistinguishable. As a result, P. mirabilis was designated as a junior synonym, extending its known range from Sumatra to the Malay Peninsula (Kuijten 1992). In Wada’s dissertation (Wada 2015), the species was recorded in Phang Nga Province, South Thailand, under the name P. discolor mirabilis . In addition, the priority of the taxon is the same as in P. dimidiata .</p></div>	https://treatment.plazi.org/id/039687C8FFB14D7AFF61FC23FD76F88D	Public Domain	No known copyright restrictions apply.

The diagnosis and recorded locality of P. alternata in Thailand differ from the specimens in those of earlier studies.
