Type locality
Indonesia
: Maluka, Seram Island.
Type details
Male, not located.
Remarks
According to the uninformative original description, the
type
of the species is from Seram Island, while no species of
Nisitrus
has ever been recorded in the region of
Maluku
Archipelago (
Indonesia
). In addition, the description mentions that the eyes are little prominent, and that the FWs extend beyond the abdomen, which is not compatible with any other species of
Nisitrus
. With the
type
missing, we consider this species as nomen dubium (new status).
