Material studied: 3 ɗɗ, 1 damaged Ψ, Vietnam, Tay Ninh Province, Logo-Xamat National Park (11 0 02’– 11 0 47’N, 105 0 57’–106 0 04’E), deciduous forest, November 2003, leg. Nguyen Duc Anh.

Previous record: Vietnam, Dong Nai Province, Cat Tien National Park ( Golovatch & Semenyuk, 2010).

Remarks: This species has recently been described from southern Vietnam ( Golovatch & Semenyuk, 2010). The new record comes from a region lying only about 150 air-km southwest of the type locality.

The line drawings of gonopod structure in the original description fail to show a very long distofemoral process ( dp), which actually is present in this species. Apparently, in the single gonopod that was illustrated, this process was broken off. The SEM images are added here ( Figs 22–23 View FIGURES 19 – 22 View FIGURES 23 – 24 ) to correct this mistake, and to make this species more easily recognizable.
