Abstract

The following 27 strictly sympatric, new species of Manota are described from Malaysia: M. acutangula, M. angustata, M. biloba, M. calcarata, M. cerciflex, M. clausa, M. curvata, M. duplex, M. fera, M. ferrata, M. globigera, M. heptacantha, M. horrida, M. oligochaeta, M. ovata, M. pappi, M. pectinata, M. perpusilla, M. plusiochaeta, M. pollex, M. procera, M. roslii, M. simplex, M. spadix, M. transversa, M. ulu, and M. yongi. A key for the identification of all the Oriental and Palaearctic species of Manota is given.
