Material examined. LAOS: Phongsaly Province, Phongsaly town, mountain tropical forest, 21°41'34"N, 102°06'19"E, 29.07– 02.08.2024, V. Spitsyn & E. Spitsyna leg. – 1♂ GoogleMaps ; the same locality and collectors, 06– 09.08.2024 – 3♂, 2♀ GoogleMaps ; Phongsaly Province, mountain tropical forest, 21°37'18"N, 101°57'06"E, 03– 04.08.2024, V. Spitsyn & E. Spitsyna leg. – 1♂ GoogleMaps ; the same locality and collectors, 12– 13.08.2024 – 3♂ GoogleMaps .

Reference COI barcode sequences. GenBank acc. no. PV069576–PV069578.

Distribution in Laos. Luang Prabang Province ( Brosch et al. 1999; Racheli et al. 2008; Kishida et al. 2020), Boli Kham Xai Province ( Racheli et al. 2008), and Phongsaly Province (this study).

Remarks. (1) The first record from Phongsaly Province. (2) Kishida et al. (2020) incorrectly identified the species from Laos as “ Cricula andrei Jordan, 1909”. The latter species is known from India, Bhutan, and Myanmar. Since COI p -distance between C. andrei and Cricula jordani Bryk, 1944 is more than 2.5% both species should be considered as valid.
