Mecistocephalus tahitiensis porosus Haase, 1887 Haase 1887: 102 (as Var. Mec. porosus n. v. ) Type locality and specimens. Ein Stück aus Viti Levu [One specimen from Viti Levu] . Dimensions. 41 mm lang, vorn 1.8, in der Mitte 2, und hinten 0.8 mm breit [ 41 mm long, front 1.8, middle 2, and rear end 0.8 mm ]. Type material. Holotype . FIJI : Viti Levu Group (archipelago), Viti Levu [ca. 17°48’S , 178°0’E ]. Old type catalogue. Weidner (1960) , p. 63, No. 24, Holotype . Additional remarks. This specimen was part of the Godeffroy collection ( Godeffroy Nr. 6493) and already missing in 1938 ( Weidner 1960 ). Haase (1887) mentiones that he had several specimens from Gayndah and Rockhampton from the Museum Hamburg and additional specimens from the Museums Dresden and Vienna from Gayndah (presumably sent or sold by the Museum Godeffroy ). However, only one specimen had white spots with small setae which he described as typical for his variety “ porosus ”. Also note that the type locality of M. tahitiensis is from eastern Tahiti and not Viti Levu. Current systematic position. Mecistocephalus tahitiensis Wood, 1862 ; see Chamberlin (1953: 80).
