Diagnosis.
The larvae of
Rhoennanthus distafurcus
can be distinguished from those of other
Rhoenanthus (Rhoenanthus)
species based on the following characteristics: i) subapical spine of the mandibular tusk well developed laterally (Fig.
10E
), with a simple, short spine, ii) 16-20 medial rounded setae on mandibular tusk (Fig.
10E
) iii) length of the mandibular tusks ca 1.7-1.9
x
length of head, iv) length of foretibiae ca 1.19-1.25
x
length of the forefemora and about 2.5-2.8
x
length of the foretarsi, (v) leg with colour marking as in Fig.
11D, and vi
) lack of bipectinated setae on the mandible (
Soldan T and Putz M 2000)
.
Distribution.
Kanchanaburi, Ratchaburi, and Nan provinces.
Remark.
Bae and McCafferty (1991)
described
R. distafurcus
based on imaginal specimens from Thailand, India, and Vietnam. The larva of
R. distafurcus
was described by
Soldan T and Putz M (2000)
based on specimens from Vietnam. In Thailand, a male adult of this species was found in Khao Yai National Park (
Bae and McCafferty 1991
). In the present study, larval specimens of this species were found in western and northern Thailand.
