Chaetotaxy: genu II 2 , 2/0-2/0, 1; genu III 1 , 2/1-2/0, 1. Previous records. Cosmopolitan, including Thailand (Provinces of Bangkok, Chiang Mai, Nakhon Pathom and Nakhon Ratchasima, Ehara & Bhandhufalck, 1977 ). Remarks. Measurements of the specimens examined are similar to those reported by Denmark & Muma (1989) for a specimen of unspecified origin. However, our specimens differ by having longer Z5 (266–272 instead of 206) and cervix of spermatheca (23 instead of 18). Moraes et al . (2000) had also observed such differences for specimens from the Caribbean. Our measurements agree with those reported by Moraes et al . (2000) and Schicha (1981b) for specimens from the South Pacific, Moraes et al . (2004a) for specimens from Sri Lanka and Zannou et al . (2007) for specimens from sub-Saharan Africa.
