Trichadenotecnum santosai Endang & Thornton

( Figs 1O , 20 , 21 )

Trichadenotecnum santosai Endang & Thornton, 1992: 364 .

Specimens examined. [ Malaysia] 1 female, Gunung Mentigi, Cameron Highlands, Pahang, 14.iii.2003, NT (UKM); 1 male, Gunung Brinchang , Cameron Highlands, Pahang, 11.iii.2003, KY ( SEHU) ; 2 females (KY190), Gunung Beremban , Cameron Highlands, Pahang, 14.vii.2003, HK.etal (canopy fogging, St. 7) ( UKM and SEHU) ; 2 males (KY333) 2 females, same locality and collectors, 15.vii.2003 (canopy fogging, St. 9) ( UKM and SEHU) .

Remarks. This species was originally described from Bali (type locality) and Lombok, Indonesia and is here recorded from Peninsula Malaysia for the first time. The specimens examined in this study match very well with the original description, including male terminalia ( Fig. 20 ; Note: original figure of hypandrium in mirror image, probably drawn in dorsal (internal) view or reproduced in reversed position) and female genitalia ( Fig. 21 ). This species is very closely related to T. auritum Yoshizawa & Lienhard, 2004 and, based on male and female genital structures, the close affinity of these species with T. apertum Thornton, 1961 is undoubted ( Yoshizawa & Lienhard, 2004).
