Amphinemura gressitti Kawai

( Figs. 13-15 )

Amphinemura gressitti Kawai, 1969:618 . Holotype ♂ (Bernice P. Bishop Museum), Dalat, Vietnam

Material examined. Vietnam: Thua Thien-Hue, Bach Ma National Park, Rhododendron trail at junction with summit road, 1200 m, 16° 11’ 10” N, 107° 50’ 55” E, 12 June 2000, ROM 2000522, B. Hubley, 1♂ ( ROM). Remarks. This species was previously known from the holotype male and although there are differences in the genitalia of our specimen and the figures provided by Kawai (1969) they are in essential agreement in head and pronotal pigment pattern, dorsal and lateral epiproct shape and in having at least one very long, dark seta near the paraproct apex. Kawai shows a pair of fine, parallel processes projecting from the base of the median process of the epiproct, but in our specimen this process appears to be single. The holotype will need to be examined in order to resolve the status of our specimen. We present Figs. 13-15 to help in recognition of this species.
