Remarks.
Gonocnemis minutissimus
Pic, 1916
was not evaluated in the revisions of the
Oriental
species of
Gonocnemis
(
ARDOIN 1964d
,
BREMER 2006
) as both authors were unable to trace the type of
G. minutissimus
in MNHN. In the meantime the
holotype
was found in MNHN and forwarded to the first author for evaluation.
Comparison of material revealed that the
holotype
of
G. minutissimus
Pic, 1916
is only a relatively small specimen of
G. minutus
Pic, 1915
. The latter species is known from
Thailand
,
Laos
and
Cambodia
.
