NOTE
. This species was originally described from the central part of
Sulawesi
and inside the “genus”
Mortoniellus
(Karny, 1931)
, but later it was transferred to
Lipotactes
s. l.
(Hebard, 1922) and returned back (Ingrisch, 1995). Here this species is included in the nominotypical subgenus of the genus
Lipotactes
and recorded from the southeastern part of
Sulawesi
and a nearest island, but it is useful to note that my males are intermediate between the
types
of
L.
(
L.
)
concolor
(from the south-
western part of
Sulawesi
) and
L.
(
L.
)
digitatus
; however, the cercus of my males
(
Fig. 16
) has the proximedial hook less curved upwards than in the first species and subsp. n.; 42, 43 –

Male abdominal apex with genital plate (41, 42, 44) and without it (46, 47) from above; distal part of male genital plate from above (43, 45, 50, 53, 55) and from below (64); male genitalia from above (48, 51, 56, 65);
proximedial lamella of male right cercus from above (49, 52, 54); male left cercus with some nearest structures (hind part of last tergite and epiproct) from above and without these structure from behind (57, 62); this cercus with hind part of last tergite from above (63); sclerites of male genitalia (58–61). [47–49, 51, 56–65–after Gorochov (1993, 1996, 1998, 2008),
modified.]
located more far from the dorsal tubercle than in the second species, and the posteromedian notch of the male genital plate is more similar to that of
L.
(
L.
)
digitatus
. Thus, the
types
of
L.
(
L.
)
concolor
and
L.
(
L.
)
digitatus
as well as my specimens may belong to two or three subspecies of the same species.
