Diagnosis
Males of
J. mihun
are very similar to those of
J. thakek
comb. nov.
in having the strongly excavated apico-prolateral side of the tegulum (
Figures 4G
cf. 5G), and the short conductor (
Figures 4H
cf. 5H), but can be distinguished by the presence of a small triangular denticle on the dorsal surface of the conductor (
Figure 10A
). Females can be recognised by the tremendously lengthened insemination ducts strongly convoluted; spermathecae are indistinct (
Figure 8A–D
).
Distribution
Northern and north-eastern
Thailand
.
