Abstract:

Leptelmis formosana is the only member of the genus known from Thaiwan. It is redescribed and the male genitalia and other characters are illustrated. Because of similar male genitalia but somewhat different external morphology, we regard Leptelmis vietnamensis from Vietnam as a subspecies of L. formosana. A key is modified from Brown and Thobias (1984) to include all known Leptelmis species of Asia.
