Rhinoteratura raoani (Gorochov, 2008)

Figs 60, 61 , 77, 78

MATERIAL. Vietnam: 1 ♀, Cao Bang Prov., Phia Oac – Phia Den National Park ,

22º37ʹ41.8ʹʹN, 105º54ʹ41.5ʹʹE, 900 m, 3–15. VI .2019, L. Anisyutkin ( ZIN) .

NOTE. This specimen ( Fig. 77 ) is almost identical to the holotype (female) of this species from another locality (Ha Tinh Prov. of North Vietnam) located rather far from Cao

Bang Province near the border with China. Their ovipositor has a very small apical denticle on each lower valve ( Figs 61 , 78 ), but the genital plate of the female from Cao Bang

Province is slightly narrower near the base and with the less wrinkled distal half ( Fig. 60 ),

and this species, recorded here from a new locality, may have two subspecies in these provinces of Vietnam.
