Nine species (six named and three new species) of the A. currax group occurring in this area are: A. cornutus Forel, A. currax Emery, A. diclops Shattuck, A. glabrinotum Jaitrong et Yamane, sp. nov., A. gracilis Emery, A. huonicus Wilson, A. parahuonicus Jaitrong et Yamane,sp. nov., A. pfeifferi Zettel et Sorger, and A. wayani Jaitrong et Yamane, sp. nov. Thirteen species (six named and seven new species) are recognized in the A. laeviceps group: A. alticola Wheeler et Chapman, A. binghami Forel, A. bodongjaya Jaitrong etYamane, sp. nov., A. breviceps Forel, stat. nov., A. brevinodus Jaitrong et Yamane, sp. nov., A.fulvus Jaitrong et Yamane, sp. nov., A. hodgsoni Forel, A. laeviceps (F. Smith), A. luzoni Wheeler et Chapman, A. montivagus Jaitrong et Yamane, sp. nov., A.rotundicollis Jaitrong et Yamane, sp. nov., A. siamensis Jaitrong et Yamane, sp. nov., and A. sonchaengi Jaitrong et Yamane, sp. nov. A.fergusoni var. breviceps Forel is removed from synonymy with A. laeviceps and raised to full species. Lectotypes andparalectotyps are designated for A. alticola, A. binghami, A. breviceps, A. cornutus, A. currax, A. gracilis, A. laeviceps, and A. luzoni.

These three species can be distinguished by morphological characters, including the frontal setae, the body size and the shape and position of the spines on the elytral declivity. DNA sequences of the mitochondrial Cytochrome Oxidase I gene were analyzed to detect haplotype variation within each of the species. A phylogenetic analysis was performed on our data plus data from Gen-Bank. Considerable amount of intra-specific sequence divergence was found in I. longifolia, ranging between 0.2%-2.5%. Intra-specific sequence divergence in I. stebbingi ranged from 0.2%-1.1% and in 7. schmutzenhoferi it varied by 0.2%. Interspecific sequence divergence was high among the three species: 7.4-8.6% between I. longifolia and I. stebbingi, 11.9-12.2% between I, stebbingi and I, schmutzenhoferi, and 11.5-12.6% between/, longifolia and I, schmutzenhoferi. Phylogenetic analyses revealed Himalayan Ips species to be monophyletic and unrelated to other Asian species. Ips stebbingi and I. longifolia were sister taxa and I. schmutzenhoferi was distinguished from I. stebbingi.

This is the first record of this tribe in the Afrotropical region and from mainland Asia. Both the new species differ from M. punctipennis Matile (described from Christmas Island in the Indian Ocean) mainly in wing coloration, structure of antennae, and details of the male terminaba.
