( Figs. 1 View FIGURE 1 , 2 View FIGURE 2 )

Changiola pahangi Gorochov, 2011: 178 View in CoL (original description); Tan & Kamaruddin, 2014: 12, 44 (record in checklist, natural history notes)

Pteroplistes perakensis View in CoL — Chopard, 1969: 232 (male described probably belongs to C. pahangi View in CoL )

Type material. Male holotype, Malaysia, Pahang, Fraser’s Hill , 17–18 km SW of Raub Town, 1000–1300 m, coll. A.V. Gorochov, M. Berezin, E. Tkatsheva, 15–23 April 2010 ( ZIN) .

Other material examined. Male allotype of Pteroplistes perakensis [= Changiola pahangi ], Malaysia, Pahang, Fraser’s Hill, 4000 ft. a.s.l., coll. H.M. Pendlebury, 19 July 1936 ( MP).

Distribution. MALAY PENINSULA: Malaysia: Pahang: Bukit Fraser.

Type locality. Malaysia: Pahang: Bukit Fraser .

Diagnosis. This species differs from known congeners by male genitalia with distinctly longer posterolateral lobes of epiphallus and proximal part of ectoparameres; and male subgenital plate faintly notched at the posterior margin.

Remarks. In his original description of Changiola perakensis, Chopard (1969) described the female holotype from Perak, and assigned a male allotype collected from Bukit Fraser. The drawing of the male genitalia ( Chopard, 1969) appears more similar to that of C. pahangi described in Gorochov (2011) than our male specimen collected from the base of Bukit Larut. This supports Gorochov (2011) ’s hypothesis that the male allotype described by Chopard (1969) is probably C. pahangi described from Bukit Fraser and that C. perakensis is probably restricted to Perak.
