Fig. 30

MATERIAL. Indonesia: Sumatra I., West Sumatra Prov., ~ 20 km E of Sasak

Town, Harau Valley National Park, equator, ~ 600 m, primary forest, on leaf of tree at night, 24–26.XI 1999, 1 ♂, A. Gorochov.

REMARK. This species, described from Singapore (Hebard, 1922), is here indicated for Sumatra. However, the male studied has 4 pairs of spines on each fore femur (this femur in holotype has 4 inner and 3 outer spines), and its genital plate is with almost straight posterior edge between styles (this edge is clearly convex in holotype). Thus, this male may belong to a new subspecies of A. thaumasia , but in order to clarify this problem, it is necessary to have more representative material .
