Diagnosis.
The larvae of
P. annamense
can be distinguished from those of other Oriental congeners by (i) apex of the inner margin of the fore tibiae, with 4-6 serrated pectinate spines (Fig. 3B), (ii) three long, finely serrated bristles at the base of the inner incisor, on both right and left mandible, (iii) segment III of the maxillary palp slightly shorter than 1/3 the length of segment II and (iv) posterolateral spines at segments VII and VII parallel to or bent outwards from the body axis (Fig. 1A, B).

Distribution.
Loei province (NE), Nakhon Nayok province (C), Chanthaburi province (E), Kanchanaburi province (W), Ratchaburi province (W).
Remarks.
The larvae of
P. annamense
were originally described by
Soldan
and Braasch (1984)
and collected from Vietnam (Thuan Hai province). They are widely distributed in southern and central Vietnam.
Tungpairojwong and Boonsoong (2011)
reported this species in middle and moderately disturbed streams in Loei province (NE), Chaiyaphum province (NE) and Kanchanaburi province (W). In this study, we found this species in several provinces, and it seems to have a wide distribution in Thailand. Surprisingly, we found larvae on the banks of the Khwae Noi River (Kanchanaburi province) (Fig. 12C). This is the first report of
Prosopistoma
larvae in large rivers in Thailand, and the larvae collected from large rivers are paler than those larvae from streams (Fig. 1B).
