discussion
Comments The colony from Shew Say Thi monastery was provisionally identified as P. giganteus based on size and colouration.
distribution
Previous records from Myanmar Mandalay Division (Bates et al., 2000); Rakhine State: Naung Hla Village (HZM collection); Bago Division (Bates et al., 2000). In reality, this species is much more widespread than the paucity of specimen data implies.
