Plectrocnemia bifurcata Tian 1993 (in Tian et al. 1993)

( Figs 14A–14C )

Material: 2 ♂, Kachin, road to Mt. Inwa Bum , 2240 m, 25.v.2006, leg. S. Naumann (pinned) ; 1 ♂, Kachin, road Pan Wah – Phemaw , 2260 m, 29–30.ix.2010, genitalia in glycerin vial, leg. S. Naumann (pinned)

Remarks. The species was described from the Hengduan Mountains of Yunnan by Tian et al. (1993). At about the same year, it was named again as P. kainam Malicky 1993 from Myanmar, Kambaiti. The synonymy was already suspected by Malicky (2013), and it is herewith confirmed. The male genitalia are depicted in Figs 14A–14C in order to facilitate its future identification.
