: (A–B) elytral apex, scale bar = 2 mm: (A) male; (B) female; (C–D) aedeagus, scale bar = 0.5 mm: (C) dorsal view; (D) lateral view; (E) gonocoxae, ventral view, scale bar = 0.5 mm; (F–I)
D. sitesi
: (F) male elytral apex, scale bar = 2 mm; (G–H) aedeagus, scale bar = 1 mm: (G) dorsal view; (H) lateral view; (I) gonocoxae, ventral view, scale bar = 1 mm; (J–M)
D. spinosus
: (J) male elytral apex, scale bar = 2 mm, (K–L) aedeagus, scale bar = 0.5 mm: (K) dorsal view; (L) lateral view; (M) gonocoxae, ventral view, scale bar = 0.5 mm.
Diagnosis.
Male (
Fig. 1E
): Size: 15.0–17.0 mm. Body form broadly oval; apex of flagellomere VI darkly colored, black; elytral apices without parasutural spines, epipleural spines and serrations absent (
Fig. 5F
), elytral apex rounded (
Fig. 1E
); lateral margin of pronotum and elytron darkly colored, black; protrochanter apically without setae on ventral surface (
Fig. 4B
); profemur with sub-apicoventral tooth; protibia club-shaped; venter reddish to brown (
Fig. 1I
); epipleura reddish to black (
Fig. 1I
); aedeagus (
Figs. 5G–H
) with median lobe shorter than parameres, parallel-sided for 3/4 length, narrowed in apical 1/5, apex triangular, curved dorsally in lateral view.
Female: Similar to male except for size:
13.4–15.7 mm
; apex of flagellomere VI lightly colored, orange; profemur without sub-apicoventral tooth; gonocoxae elongate, lateral margins slightly rounded and expanded, apex rounded (
Fig. 5I
).
Differential diagnosis.
Dineutus sitesi
can be distinguished from all other congeners in
Thailand
by the broadly oval body form, large size, rounded elytral apex lacking spines and serrations, and males with a sub-apicoventral profemoral tooth.
Distribution.
This species is known only from
Thailand
where it was described from Phu Hin Rongkla National Park,
Phitsanulok Province
(Gustafson
et al
. 2016).
Habitat.
This species occurs in streams and pools beneath waterfalls (
Fig. 7D
) (Gustafson
et al
. 2016).
Discussion.
In this study,
D. sitesi
was found at the same localities in Phu Hin Rongkla National Park as previously reported by Gustafson
et al.
(2016). Additionally, we found this species in another stream within the same mountain range (
Phetchabun
Mountains) at Thung Salaeng Luang National Park,
Phitsanulok Province
at an elevation of
894 m
a.s.l.
D. sitesi
was also collected from a stream in the Tenasserim Hills at Thong Pha Phum National Park,
Kanchanaburi Province
at an elevation of
270 m
a.s.l. (
Fig. 8A
). Thus, more collecting in the northern and western regions where the mountain ranges approach continuity will be required further in order to better understand its distribution.
