Anoplodesmus mirabilis Golovatch, VandenSpiegel et Semenyuk, 2016

Fig. 1 .

MATERIAL. 2 ♂♂, 1 ♀, Vietnam, Gia Lai Prov., Kon Ka Kinh National Park, N 14°18′08″, E 108°26′41″, 600–700 m a.s.l., mixed tropical forest, steep slope (up to 45°), stream valley, on bush and forest floor, V.2017, leg. I.I. Semenyuk.

REMARK. As these samples come from a new locality in the Gia Lai Province, the terra typica [ Golovatch et al., 2016], they can be regarded as near-topotypes. The species has also been recorded from another locality in the same province [ Golovatch, 2017]. Live coloration appears to be blackish brown ( Fig. 1 ), apparently strongly faded to light brown or even yellow in alcohol [ Golovatch et al., 2016; Golovatch, 2017].
