Remarks.
–
Richardson’s (1988)
keys for
Streptaxidae
, in which the genus
Oophana
is distinguished from other genera by having two (sometimes only one) parietal lamellae and three or more other teeth, are followed here. In Peninsular
Malaysia
,
Van Bentham Jutting (1954
,
1961a
) described seven species of
Oophana
under the subgenus
Haploptychius
, which differs from
Oophana
sensu stricto
by having only one parietal lamella present. However,
Haploptychius
has since been treated as a full genus (see
Van Bruggen, 1972
;
Richardson, 1988
). Therefore, it can be said that prior to this report, no representatives of
Oophana
occured in Peninsular
Malaysia
.
