Material examined. 1 Ƥ and 2 maturi juniores, mixed forest; 1 Ƥ, evergreen forest; 2 Ƥ and 1 maturus junior, plantation.

Remarks. Imadaté (1989) stated that an additional pair of head setae were occasionally present, based on his examination of Javanese specimens. This phenomenon also was recorded for specimens from Nepal, Hong Kong, Taiwan, and Japan ( Imadaté 1989; Imadaté & So 1992; Nakamura 1997, 2000). However, it was not recorded from Thai specimens ( Imadaté 1989). In this survey the specimens from mixed forest did not have the additional setae, whereas the setae were observed in specimens from evergreen forest and plantation.

Distribution. Japan, Korea, China, Taiwan, Thailand, Malaya, Singapore, Borneo, Java, India, Nepal and Seychelles.
