Cyphopisthes
wallacei
(Pascoe, 1860)
Known distribution:
Indonesia
, West
Malaysia
(
Perak
) (
Paulian 1978
).
Remarks. The West Malaysian record is doubtful, as stated by Paulian himself (1978). The occurrence of
C. wallacei
outside Borneo has to be confirmed. The synonymy between
Cyphopisthes wallacei
and
Cyphopisthes humeralis
Gestro, 1899
(described from Borneo) established by
Paulian (1978)
doesn’t seem acceptable. The majority of published records for
C. wallacei
outside Borneo seems to be wrong. The genus
Cyphopisthes
Gestro, 1899
is in need of a revision.
