Stilicoderus fenestratus FAUVEL 1895

Material examined: Laos: 8 exs., Phongsaly province, Phongsaly env., 21°41'N, 102°06'E, ca. 1500 m, 6.-17.V.2004, leg. KubáĖ ( NHMB, cAss).

Comment: Stilicoderus fenestratus had been recorded from Nepal, North India, Myanmar, China (Yunnan), and Thailand ( ASSING 2013). The above material, the first record from Laos, is distinguished from that seen from North India ( ASSING 2013) by smaller body size and an aedeagus with a shorter and stouter ventral process. More material from other regions is needed to clarify if these differences are an expression of intra- or interspecific variation.
