Young (1965: 169) ( Figs 6 A–D ), “Upper Burma , Mamyo, 3500 ft , 19–21.viii.14 , Fletcher, Coll.” “Pusa Coll. 1915-164” “ Apphia burmanica Dist. Type [Distant’s hw]” “ Type H. T. [red edged disc]” ( BMNH ). Remarks. Originally described from an unspecified number of specimens ( syntype ) with the following data: “Upper Burma ; Maymyo, 3500ft (Bainbrigge Fletcher)”. This species can be readily recognized by its distinctive beautiful coloration. Dietrich (2004) illustrated the male genitalia of a specimen identified as this species from Thailand . The male pygofer has a slender S-shaped ventral process that exceeds the dorsal margin; the aedeagus has strong basal bulbous and distal parts which are separated by a strong ventral marginal constriction, and the dorsolateral lobes are well developed and lack quadrate lobe like processes found in A. flava sp. nov.
