Material examined. BURMA, Mandalay Division: 1 male, spring outflows at Nyaungkhangyi, 7 km. N. of Maymyo , 1065 m., 22°05′22′′N, 96°27′24′′E, water temp. 22° C., 20 October 1998, CL 4013, D. A GoogleMaps . & J. T. Polhemus ( USNM) .

Discussion. Enithares intha appears to have a relatively circumscribed range, being known to occur only in Burma and the hill country of adjacent northeastern India ( Zettel et al. 2012). Lansbury (1974) redescribed the ho- lotype series, consisting of two males, and Zettel et al. (2012) provided a description of the female. The specimen listed above adds another record of this species from northeastern Burma.

Ecological notes. The Nyaungkhangyi Stream locality consisted of a set of springs and outflow streamlets lying at the headwaters of the Gelaung River. This locality was reached by hiking upstream from Nyaungkhangyi village along a rough rural road, which eventually degenerated into a set of narrow trails and cart tracks leading to a small reservoir. Above this reservoir lay two streams, heavily crowded along their banks by second-growth forest. The specimen of E. intha was taken from a set of deep and very clear spring-fed pools along the smaller branch. Other aquatic Heteroptera species occurring here included Ranatra schuhi D. Polhemus & J. Polhemus , Ranatra lansburyi Chen, Nieser & Ho , Metrocoris nigrofascioides Chen & Nieser , and Hydrometra longicapitis Bueno.
