.
Diagnosis (principally after
Roth 1997
).
Tegmen and hindwing fully developed. R of tegmen without posterior branch, mediocubital branches longitudinal or slightly oblique. R of hindwing without posterior branch; CuA oblique or slightly sigmoid with 3–5 complete branches and 0–4 incomplete branches; apical triangle absent. Front femur
type
A or B (in cases varied intraspecifically); tarsal pulvilli present on 1–4 proximal tarsomeres; claws simple and symmetrical; arolia small.
Male:
T1 and T7 specialized or only T1 with a middle gland. Paraprocts dissimilar; each side of supraanal plate with an intercercal process near the base of cercus. Subgenital plate asymmetrical, all species similar; styli similar, small, cylindrical, length equal or slightly unequal. Sclerite of the left phallomere (L3) hook-like, on the left side, with a preapical incision; middle sclerite (L2vm) rod-like.
Distribution (
Fig. 1
).
China
(Yunnan and Hainan), Andaman Islands, Malay Peninsula, Sumatra, Borneo, Sulawesi.
Remarks.
The
holotype
of
H. moultoni
is a female, its colour and pattern of the tegmina and wings are similar to those of
H. bicolor
; therefore they may be synonyms (
Roth, 1997
).
Haplosymploce
is recorded from Southeast Asia and South
China
but no record is from the Indochinese Peninsula (in the narrower sense) (
Fig. 1
); this may be a result of the absence of specimens from this area or the lack of taxonomic works. Particularly, it could be inferred that
H. andamanica
should distribute in
Burma
since it is a transitional area between
China
and Andaman, from which this species is recorded.
