Hypselothyrea paraguttata TAKADA et MOMMA 1975

Hypselothyrea paraguttata TAKADA et MOMMA, 1975 (Figs 11–13) TAKADA et MOMMA 1975: 21. Material studied: Thailand: 1 male (MHNG; defected, left wing glued under the specimen, genitalia in microvial with glycerol): Thailand, 2000 m, Chiang Mai Prov., Doi Pha Hom Pak, W of Fang, /17, 15. XII. 2002, 20.02.43N/99.08.43E, P. SCHWENDINGER leg.; 1 female (HNHM): 1500 m, Nan Prov., Doi Wao, W of Tha Wang Pha, 18. XII. 2002 /22, 19.08.13N/100.38.29E, P. SCHWENDINGER leg. I found one male and one female specimens of a species close to H. guttata, which I think H. paraguttata. However, male genitalia seem different from those, which OKADA (1980: figs 25–26) gave for this species. I guess the long thick setae onanteriorventralpartofepandrium,whichemergeaboveeachotherandadherent on a longer section, may have resulted in a view depicted by OKADA. At least I do not know any other form with two dark spots in r 1 cell and 11 prensisetae on surstylus (Fig. 11). I depicted also phallus in lateral view (Fig. 12), although shape in this view depends on the extent latero-extension of left and right halves of phallus (my figure is different from that of OKADA). The question will be adequately answered by a study of the type of H. paraguttata only. The differentiating characters to H. guttata are given in a short key below.
