| Type notes |
1) Eguchi does not name the Sumatran locality in which the lectotype originated. 2) Other original syntype locality: Malaysia: Malacca, Maxwell’s Hill, nr Taiping, 1911-12 (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. |
