DISTRIBUTION. Sunda Islands: Borneo, Java, Bali. The below given description of
P. yanbulat
sp.n.
poses a question: if Crosskey’s New Guinean record from Kassam (
6.24°S
146.00°E
) was a misidentification of
P. yanbulat
sp.n.
or both species are distributed in New
Guinea
? Colleagues from Bishop Museum may examine Kassam’s specimen and clarify the situation.
REMARKS. Males from Malaysian Borneo in ZMUM collection seem to be the first known males of nominotypical subspecies of
P. u.
unicolor
. Male genitalia are identical to those of
P. u. crosskeyi
ssp.n.
(
Figs 8 and 10
), differences between two subspecies are in body size and leg colour of males.
Among
11 ♂♂
of
P. u.
unicolor
there is one with remarkable femoral chaetotaxy: setae on
f2
and left
f3
are reduced while right
f3
has 3
pv
and 2
av
setae almost as strong as in females.
