Remarks.
Eophileurus malyi
Endrődi, 1978
was described from southern
Thailand
with no additional material known to literature since its discovery. The
type
series (
Figs. 71–78
) clearly suggest its close relationship to
E. confinis
Prell, 1913
but the parameres are structurally different in having an extra pair of backward process at the center of the parameres in frontal view (
Fig. 73
).
