Orthopagus lunulifer Uhler, 1897 View in CoL

( Fig. 1D View Fig )

Material examined. NEPAL: 1J, Chitwan National Park, Island Jungle reserve, 29–30.x.1995, L. Peregovits ( HNHM).

Remarks. The genus Orthopagus was revised by SඈඇǤ et al. (2018b) who also reported the specimen cited here from Nepal. This specimen is identical in external characters to specimens of O. lunulifer from Japan, China, Taiwan and Vietnam. However, it differs in the shape of the lobe on the dorso-posterior margin of the pygofer which is smaller (shorter and simply angular) than in the rest of O. lunulifer males studied. The phallobase of this specimen could not be sufficiently compared as its membranous lobes failed to inflate during the preparation. More specimens and data are needed to confirm the identification (SඈඇǤ et al. 2018b).
