Stenopsyche siamensis Martynov 1931 (Figs. 4 a–4h)

Stenopsyche siamensis Martynov 1931: 5 (male; Khaosam, Trang, Thailand); Ismail et al. 1993: 199 (male & female; Peninsular Malaysia); Ismail et al. 1996: 241 (larva; Peninsular Malaysia); Klaytong 2003: 41 (male; Thailand).

Male. Body 12 mm; forewings 14 mm; antennae 17 mm. Spur formula 0. 4. 4. The male adult was described by Martynov (1931), Ismail et al. (1993), and Klaytong (2003).

Female. Body 14–16 mm; forewings 16.5–17 mm; antennae 18–19 mm. Spur formula 2. 4. 4. The female adult was described by Ismail et al. (1993).

Larva. Body 30 mm, width 3 mm. Sclerites completely dark brown. Head 3.3 mm, width 1.2 mm. Pronotal median suture present. The larva was described by Ismail et al. (1996).

Diagnosis: The male adult of S. siamensis can be distinguished from other species of Stenopsyche by the shape of dorsal projections of segment X and short and forked superior arms (Figs. 4 a–4c). The larva of S. siamensis can be distinguished by the completely blackish brown head (Figs. 4 d–4f), relatively long and curved apical process of forecoxae (Fig. 4 h), and moderately thickened median part of posterior prosternite (Fig. 4 g). In case the larval head color is brown or light brown, the punctate pattern occurs ambiguously.

Distribution. Thailand, Malaysia, Central and Southern Vietnam (Nghe An Prov., Quang Binh Prov., Thua Thien–Hue Prov., Da Nang City, Lam Dong Prov.).

Remarks. This is a widespread species of Stenopsyche in mainland Southeast Asia. It has a large degree of morphological variations in the male adult genitalia (Klaytong 2003). The Vietnamese larvae of S. siamensis have a median suture in the pronotum, while the Malaysian larvae lack it (Ismail et al. 1996).
