Type notes:
1)
Eguchi, 2001a does not specify the Sumatran locality in which the lectotype originated. 2) Other original syntype locality: Malaysia: Malacca, Maxwell’s Hill, nr Taiping, 2.ii.-15.iii.1912 (
H. von Buttel-Reepen). 3) Confusingly,
Eguchi et al., 2007: 276, and
Eguchi, 2008: 80, cite Maxwell’s Hill as the lectotype locality, which contradicts
Eguchi, 2001a: 21.
