Material

♂♂♀♀ (RMBR), Vietnam, Lào Cai Province, Sa Pa Valley. From ex culture established from ♀ collected from dung on cow farm, 4km NE of Sa Pa town [22°21'28.19"N; 103°51'53.35"E, elevation 1250m ASL]. Collected 15.VII.2010 (Ang Y).

Taxonomic remarks

Sepsis monostigma is an Oriental species that resembles Sepsis pseudomonostigma Ursu, 1969 but is geographically exclusive from Sepsis pseudomonostigma (which has only been recorded in South and South-east Europe and Central Asia). Sepsis monostigma can be differentiated by the two long medioventral spines (one short spine in Sepsis pseudomonostigma) on the fore femur (Fig. 15), lack of ventromedial spinules on the fore tibia (Fig. 16) and surstylus (Fig. 17) being much thinner than that in Sepsis pseudomonostimga.

Distribution

China (Guandong), Taiwan, India (Jammu and Kashmir, Uttar Pradesh, West Bengal), Japan (Hokkaido Is., Honshu Is., Kyushu Is.), Korea, Philippines (Luzon Is.), Sri Lanka, South Russia (Amurskaya Oblast’, Irkutskaya Oblast’, Khabarovskiy Kray, Krasnoyarskiy Kray, Novosibirskaya Oblast’, Primorskiy Kray, Sakhalinskaya Oblast’), Vietnam (Lào Cai).
