Dysphaea haomiao: Hämäläinen (2012) View in CoL , pp. 305–311, Figs 1 View FIGURE1 , 2 View FIGURE 2 , 4 View FIGURE 4 , 5 View FIGURE 5 . [Vietnamese specimens from Cao Bang Prov. included in the ‘non-type’ material]; Hämäläinen et al. (2015), p. 452 (distribution records).

Materials examined. [ Vietnam] 1♂, Ha Giang Prov., 1.VII.2014, T. Kompier leg. (TKC) ; 2♂, Suoi Cun , Cao Bang Prov., 20.V.2015, Q.T. Phan leg. ( PQTC) .

Other materials confirmed by field observations. [ Vietnam] Some individuals, Cao Bang Prov. , VI.2014, V, VI.2015, T. Kompier; Some individuals, Quang Binh Prov. , IV, V, VI.2016, V, VI.2017, T. Kompier . 1♂, Thua Thien-Hue Prov., 14.V.2017, T. Kompier.

Notes. Fully mature males of Dysphaea haomiao can be separated from all Dysphaea species by their wholly black wings ( Fig. 12e View FIGURE 12 ). In semi-mature specimens, the wings are dark brownish; they are therefore difficult to separate from those of mature D. gloriosa (Hämäläinen pers. comm.). Females are similar to Dysphaea gloriosa in body color pattern, but have all pale metepimeron ( Fig. 12f View FIGURE 12 ). In Vietnam, Dysphaea haomiao was previously recorded only in Cao Bang Prov., northern Vietnam ( Hämäläinen 2012), which is close to the border with China.

Distribution. Vietnam ( Ha Giang, Cao Bang, Thua Thien-Hue and Quang Binh Provinces), China ( Guizhou, Yunnan and Guangxi Provinces) (Hämäläinen et al. 2015).
