Pachyrhynchus forsteni
Snellen van Vollenhoven, 1864
(
Figs. 2A, 2C
)
This species was described from “
Ternate
, Halmaheira et
Sumatra
”, and recently
Yoshitake
et al
. (2018)
reported it from
Makian Island
. In that same article the authors questioned the presence of the species on
Sumatra
, considering it unlikely.
Recently
three specimens
of this species were captured north of the village of Daeo Majiko (
South Morotai— Morotai Island
) together with a series of
Pachyrhynchus morotaiensis
Snellen van Vollenhoven, 1864
. The specimens, one of which in the author’s collection, are identical to the specimens examined from the island of Halmahera.
