Holotype male, RMNH .INS.1256442 ( Indonesia , Sulawesi , Makassar ). NBC. From its broad mirror area (length/width = 1.44), the species belongs to the niponensis subgroup. In tooth number (93) and inter-tooth distances it is very similar to M. himalaya ( Fig. 11 , 12 ). Since M. himalaya is quite widespread, both names could refer to the same species with macassariensis having priority. However, even species with quite similar files can have very different songs (see below; M. fallax and M. s. stridulata ). Since wrong combining is more difficult to restore than wrong splitting, we remain on the safe side and consider at the moment M. macassariensis as a species endemic to Sulawesi . Data on its song are urgently needed.
