Name

Orthomorpha communis Likhitrakarn, Golovatch & Panha, 2011 – Wikispecies link – Pensoft Profile

• Orthomorpha communis Likhitrakarn, Golovatch & Panha 2011: 37 (D).

Material examined

1 ♂, 2 ♀ (CUMZ), Laos, Savannakhet Province, Atsaphangthong District, Ban Than Bang, 170 m, 16°42'12"N, 105°12'06"E, 19.10.2013, leg. C. Sutcharit and W. Siriwut.

Descriptive notes

Length 34 mm (♂) or 36–37 mm (♀), width of midbody pro- and metazona 2.9 and 4.5 mm (♂), 3.0–3.8 and 4.5–5.3 mm (♀), respectively.

Remarks

The above material fully agrees with the original, quite detailed description of this species (Likhitrakarn et al. 2011). It appears to be rather widespread not only in the eastern part of Thailand close to the frontier to Cambodia, but also in southern Laos. This species is new to the fauna of Laos, again suggesting a much wider distribution in Indochina.
