Comment
: The original description of
Z. daiaccorum
is based on a female
holotype
from “Borneo,
Sabah
, Mt. Kanabalu Nat. Pd., HQ Liwagu River” and
three females
from the same locality (
PACE 2008
). An examination of the
holotype
and a
paratype
revealed that these specimens are conspecific with the
holotype
of
Z. matangensis
, which was revised by
ASSING (2017)
. The external and sexual characters of the
holotype
of
Z. matangensis
are illustrated in
Figs 5, 26

63–65
