Megadiestramima (Megadiestramima) extensa Gorochov, 1998 View in CoL

( Figs 15–20, 45, 46)

Material examined. Northern Vietnam: 1 male (holotype), Hoa Binh [former Ha Son Binh] Prov., Cuc Phuong National Park , 200 m, forest, at night, 15.X.1994, I. Darevsky ( ZIN) ; 1 male, 3 females, same locality, but 13.XI.2008, V. Bezborodov ( ZIN, 2 females; EATB, 1 male, 1 female) .

Note. The species was described from a single male ( Gorochov, 1998) in details. Later, Storozhenko (2009) on the base of the above-mentioned material described previously unknown females of this species. These females are very similar to each other, but their genital plates are somewhat different: in one female, the lateral edges of this plate are not convex in the middle part and with distinct lateral spinules in the proximal half ( Figs 19, 20); in other females, these lateral edges are clearly convex in the middle part and with lateral spinules in the distal half (but one of the latter females is without right lateral spinule on this plate; Fig. 18). These differences show either strong variability in this character, or the belonging of these females to different sympatric species.
