Remarks
In comparison with the specimens examined by Gauld & Mitchell (1981), Vietnamese specimens have shorter fore wings (10.3–12.1 mm vs 14.0–16.0 mm), shorter antennae (49–53 flagellomeres vs 54–56), and shorter SDI (1.01–1.11 vs 1.10–1.16).
Distribution
Previously known from Taiwan (Yu et al. 2016). These are the first records of this species from Vietnam.
