Abstract
Hemicordulia tenera donnellyi ssp. nov. (holotype P: Chieng Mai Prov., Kunklang: highway 1009, Restaurant; 16°32.0’ N 98°31.3’ E, 1000 m, 22 v 1996, FSCA) and H. t. vikhrevi ssp. nov. (holotype P: Cambodia, Koh Kong Province, ~13 km ENE of Koh Kong, ‘Hemicordulia brook’, 11°39’55’’ N, 103°05’34’’ E, 315 m, 04 xii 2010, RMNH) are described from North Thailand and South-West Cambodia, respectively. The nominotypical H. tenera tenera Lieftinck, 1930 is distributed in the Malay Peninsula, Borneo, Java and Sumatra. Although these three subspecies are genetically very close, they are distinguishable by the relative length and shape of the caudal appendages.
