Yoshizawa, Kazunori, Lienhard, Charles & Abd, Idris, 2014, Trichadenotecnum species from Peninsular Malaysia and Singapore (Insecta: Psocodea: ' Psocoptera': Psocidae), Zootaxa 3835 (4), pp. 469-500 : 485

Trichadenotecnum gombakense New & Lee

( Figs 1L , 15 )

Trichadenotecnum gombakensis [sic!] New & Lee, 1992: 155.

Trichadenotecnum gombakense ; Endang & New, 2005: 22.

Specimens examined. [ Malaysia] 1 female, Fraser's Hill, Pahang, 7.iii.2003, KY (UKM); 1 female, Gunung Jasar, Cameron Highlands , Pahang, 14.iii.2003, KY ( SEHU) .

Remarks. This species was described from a single female obtained from Gombak, Malaysia ( New & Lee, 1992). The female specimen examined here is in good agreement with the original description ( Figs 1L , 15 ). Although the present material does not include the male of this species, it was described by Endang & New (2005) from Sumatra, which clearly shows that this species is closely related to T. falx Yoshizawa, 2001 from Japan and T. isseii Yoshizawa & Lienhard, 2007 from Nepal due to the possession of the asymmetrical and sickle-shaped hypandrial median tongue. The hypandrial median tongue illustrated by Endang & New (2005) is left-skewed whereas that of the other species is right-skewed. The illustration given by Endang & New (2005) is very likely drawn in dorsal (internal) view or reproduced in reversed position ( Yoshizawa et al., 2007).
