Jaroenchaiwatthanachote, Pramual, &amp; Thanee</p><p>Figs. 3–6</p><p>Diagnosis. Triplectides buengkanensis sp. nov. is similar to T. misakianus (Matsumura 1931) (Kuranishi 1999; Katsuma &amp; Kuranishi 2016), T. nessimiani Desidério &amp; Pes (Desidério et al. 2020), and T. indicus Walker 1852 in many characteristics including those of the forewings and hind wings and the shapes and lengths of the preanal appendages and of the basoventral and basomesal lobes and apically acute second articles of the inferior appendages. However, Triplectides buengkanensis sp. nov. can be distinguished from T. misakianus in the female by length of the fork I petiole (shorter in T. misakianus) and absence of the transverse vein r -m in the hind wing (present in T. misakianus). In the male, Triplectides buengkanensis sp. nov. can be distinguished from these species by tergum X being obliquely truncate in dorsal view (suboval in T. indicus and T. misakianus) and having a shallow V-shaped apicomesal incision (deep in T. misakianus, T. nessimiani, and T. indicus), the absence of striae on the basomesal lobes of the inferior appendages (present in T. nessimiani), and the suboval phallotremal sclerite (subpentagonal in T. nessimiani).</p><p>Material examined.

Same data as holotype, except 11 males, 4 females; GenBank no: PQ009803–PQ009817 (COI) .</p><p>Description. Adult male (Figs 3A–3C). Forewing length 11.0 mm– 12.5 mm (Fig. 3B), body 7.5–9 mm (n = 12). Adult female (Figs 4A–4C). Forewing length 11.4–15 mm (Fig. 4B), body 8–11 mm (n = 11). In both sexes, body generally appearing yellowish brown on head, thorax, forewing, abdomen, and legs in alcohol-preserved material. Tibial spur formula 2:2:2—forelegs, midlegs, and hind legs respectively—in both sexes. Wing venation similar in male and female except male forewing with R4+5 straight behind discoidal cell and apical fork III absent, female forewing with R4+5 angled posterad subapically at r-m crossvein behind discoidal cell as in several Australian species (Morse &amp; Neboiss 1982) and apical fork III present.</p><p>Male genitalia (Figs 5A–5E). Segment IX (IX), in lateral view, tall, longitudinally short, subrectangular, longer dorsally than ventrally, constricted at 3/4 height with acute incisions on anterior and posterior margins, posterior margins projecting and triangular at 2/3 height. In dorsal view, tergum IX subpentagonal with posterior margin almost rounded, with tiny notch and membranous digitate median processes (Fig. 5B). Preanal appendages (pr. ap.) long and slender, 3/4 as long as tergum X, blunt apically, with many setae (Figs 5A, 5B). Tergum X (X), in lateral view, wide basally, with dorsal and ventral margins almost straight, apex round (Fig. 5A); in dorsal view, slightly tapering posterad, bearing short lateral and apical setae, apex obliquely truncate, with shallow, V-shaped incision (Fig. 5B). In lateral view (Fig. 5A), apicodorsal lobe of first article of each inferior appendage long, extending beyond hooked second article (2nd art.) and tergum X, bearing long setae; in ventral view (Fig. 5C), first article broad basally with blunt subtriangular basomesal lobe, second article crescent-shaped, wide at base, tapering apically, sharply curved inward, with pointed apex. In lateral and ventral views (Figs 5A, 5C), basoventral lobe of each inferior appendage, long, shorter than preanal appendages, apically round, with long setae. In lateral view (Fig. 5D), phallic apparatus long, tubular, thicker near middle, curved upward apically; in dorsal view, bulb-like, with small phallotremal sclerite and pair of wide apices (Fig. 5E).</p><p>Female genitalia (Figs 6A–6C). In lateral view (Fig. 6A), tergum IX subrectangular, with sclerotized concave area posterolaterally, sternum smaller; in dorsal view (Fig. 6B), subtriangular, round apically, and with pair of small papillae posteriorly. In lateral and dorsal views (Figs 6A, 6C), appendages of segment X (X ap.) long and oval, with many setae; sensilla-bearing processes almost 1/2 as long as preanal appendages, blunt apically, each with 6 or 7 short, stout setae apically. In lateral view (Fig. 6A), valves (v.) semicircular, round apically, each with short setae ventrolaterally. In ventral view (Fig. 6C), gonopod plate (go.pl.) sub-rectangular, with blunt anterolateral angles and round posteriorly. In ventral view (Fig. 6C), internal vaginal apparatus (v. a.) subrectangular, twice as long as broad.</p><p>Immature stages. Unknown</p><p>Distribution. Thailand (Buengkan Province).</p><p>Etymology. The specific epithet, buengkanensis, refers to the type locality of the species, Buengkan Province, in northeast Thailand.</p></div>	https://treatment.plazi.org/id/CF14316547104535FF5A02B61FF3EEDE	Public Domain	No known copyright restrictions apply.
