Desmoxytes grandis Golovatch, VandenSpiegel et Semenyuk, 2016

Fig. 2 .

MATERIAL. 2 ♂♂, 1 ♀, Vietnam, Gia Lai Province, Kon Ka Kinh National Park , N 14°13′12″, E 108°19′54″, 1500 m a.s.l., mixed cloud forest on hill summit, on and under logs, in litter, 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 the adjacent Kon Tum Province [ Golovatch, 2017]. Live coloration appears to be red-brown ( Fig. 2 ), apparently not faded and turning dark (blackish) brown in alcohol [ Golovatch et al., 2016; Golovatch, 2017].
