Manota ferrata Hippa, 2006

Material studied. 4 males, BRUNEI, Ulu Temburong, 14.ii–9.iii.1982, Malaise trap, M.C. Day leg. (in NHM). Remarks. Only the type material from Selangor, Malaysia was known (Hippa 2006).

Manota forceps Hippa & Papp, 2007

Material studied. 1 male, N.W. THAILAND, Chiang Mai Prov., Queen Sirikit Botanic Gardens, 300–700 m, N 18 53.306 E 51.432, Malaise trap, vii.2006, leg. M.V.L. Barclay & H. Mendel, BMNH (E) 2006-128 (in NHM).

Remarks. The species was only known from the holotype from near Doi Anh Kang, Thailand (Hippa & Papp 2007). It seems peculiar that the species was not discovered in the rich material of Manota species collected by the TIGER project in the national parks of Thailand (Hippa 2008, 2009).

In M. forceps , the maxillary palpus lacks the apicomesial extension or apophysis as well as the curved sensilla on palpomere 3, the preepisternum 2 is non-setose and episternum 3 has a few setae, characters which could not be observed in the dry and pinned holotype. See also M. subforceps above.
