Alidus signatus
(lectotype),
Souvanna phoumai
(syntype), and
Mispila coomani
(holotype) were unknown, so the body length was determined from the types of
Enispia quadristigma

Comments.
Having compared the types of
M. signata
(Fig.
1A, B
),
A. quadristigma
(Fig.
1D-F, H-J
),
S. phoumai
(Fig.
1L
[REMOVED HYPERLINK FIELD]) and
M. coomani
(Fig.
1M, N
), we found that the above four species are identical; thus, we treat
A. quadristigma
,
S. phoumai
and
M. coomani
as junior synonyms of
M. signata
.
Athylia
and
Souvanna
belong to the tribe
Apomecynini
, while
Mispila
belongs to the tribe
Pteropliini
. According to the key to tribes of
Lamiinae
and the key to genera of
Apomecynini
(
Rondon and Breuning 1970
), the difference between
Apomecynini
and
Pteropliini
is that the middle tibiae have an outer groove in front of the apex in
Apomecynini
and the middle tibiae have no outer groove in front of the apex in
Pteropliini
. The difference between
Athylia
and
Souvanna
is that the eyes are deeply emarginated in
Souvanna
and subdivided in
Athylia
. Furthermore, according to
Breuning (1964b)
and our examined materials, the 3rd antennal joint is longer than the 4th in
Athylia
, while the 3rd antennal joint is shorter than the 4th in
Souvanna
. To confirm these differences, we also have examined material of
Athylia avara
Pascoe, 1864 from the Ternate Island (Indonesia), the type species of
Athylia
.
After our examination of these materials, we can confirm that this species belongs to the tribe
Apomecynini
, and, according to the mentioned features, it belongs to the monotypical genus
Souvanna
.
In the description of
Alidus signatus
,
Pic (1926)
mentioned "Long. 7-9 mill", which indicates that Pic examined at least two specimens; thus, we designate syntype examined by us (Fig.
1A, B
) as the lectotype following the recommendations of ICZN (1999; Art. 74.7).
Distribution.
